In the Garden - Jace Everett

He moved across the water

Until he made dry land

And drew up from the muddy banks

This very simple man

He reached into my brittle cage

Wanna help to lend a hand

And up until I saw your face

I didn’t know I’d need a plan

The fruit falls from the branches

The scales fall from our eyes

The world spreads out before us

And love is all I find

In the garden

Won’t you stay with me

In the garden

Darling never leave

In the garden

I don’t want

I don’t want to be free

The years they never get to him

The way they get to you and me

Guess it’s true, what ophidian said

I was blind and now I see

The crimson kiss that’s on our lips

That ain’t nothing but a stain

From love that never could forgive

The simplest growing pains

In the garden

Won’t you stay with me

In the garden

Say you’ll never leave

In the garden

I don’t want

I don’t want to be free

What we were meant to find there

Was never made too clear

But footsteps in the darkness

Won’t run me out of here

In the garden

Won’t you stay with me

In the garden

Say you’ll never leave

In the garden

Won’t you stay with me

I don’t want

I don’t want to be free
