The Gardener

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sorry for the setback I know I let you down Turn back the clocks and step back And spring might come around [Verse 2] My little misbegotten You're quite a stubborn bud If we can't make you open We will take it out in blood [Chorus 1] We'll make a man out of you yet! We will plant brambles in your bed! Just close your eyes and count to ten This is as good as it will get [Verse 3] Oh is our little willow weeping? Flutter to your knees The untilled things before me Oh the possibilities [Verse 4] Thank you for the warning But I still see the sun A little global warming Never hurt no one [Chorus 2] We'll make a man out of you yet A crown of thorns around your head Get off your knees and have a look This is as good as it will get [Verse 5] At last my little flower Is getting put to use You've always been a failure But now you're bearing strange new fruit [Verse 6] The insides are all useless But the rest is fertile, so I will take the belt from off the hook And watch the garden grow [Chorus 3] We'll make a man out of you yet You won't know what will hit you next The gardener's coming to collect You wanted love? That's what you get [Outro] The gardener's coming to collect The gardener's coming to collect The gardener's coming to collect The gardener's coming to collect The gardener's coming to collect
