you move forward, i move backwards

and together we make nothing at all

and everybody knows

how your garden's growing tonight



what's this tender fascination

and the boredom emulation of love

stories to take home

we had your garden growing just right



you do it for me

you do it with quickness

a man of the hour

as god is my witness

me and my song

we'll do it alone



you do it for me

you do it for money

a man of the hour

it aches in my belly

me and my song

we'll do it alone



now this tender fascination

is only meant to take you so far

i'll remind you to remind

how else to never mind it at all



you move forward, i move backwards

and together we make nothing at all

everybody knows

how your garden's growing tonight



you do it for me

you do it with quickness

a man of the hour

as god is my witness

me and my song

we'll do it alone



you do it for me

you do it for money

a man of the hour

it aches in my belly

me and my song

we'll do it alone
