THE GARDEN PATH

Come to me my lover
Come into the fore
Share me links and send me winks
Let your beauty pour
Shower me with kisses to the break of dawn
With cars more frequent on the road
Schoolkids pass the door

And still I follow her tonight
She leads me on it’s alright
Under the stars again
Back to the start
By her garden gate

Can we meet up in the evening
Can we meet up in the day
I want to see you make it real
I need to validate
I want to see you sparkle in the sunlight in the haze
I want to find out if it’s true
I need to see your face

And still I follow her tonight
She turns me on it’s alright
Under the stars down the lane
Back to the start
By her garden gate
Her garden gate
By her garden gate
Her garden gate

Suddenly one morning with the cuckoo and skylark
She led me through a wooded glade
Through the dewy grass
She took me through wildflowers
Roses led the way
She lit up all the shadows
By the entrance of the gate
But the path began to narrow
With thick weeds underfoot
Thorns scratched my arms
And brambles that drew blood
Ravens they gathered
Crows they flew down
I turned to see you smiling
You were nowhere to be found

And still I follow her tonight
She leads me on it’s alright
Under the stars again
Back to the start
By her garden gate
By her garden gate
By her garden gate
By her garden gate
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
