Lyrics

[BEN] Come along, love, come fly away, fly along Come along, fly away home [COMPANY] Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate Tiptoed the chambermaids and stole their pearls Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls [BEN] Come along, love you've flown a long way You've flown all the day, come fly away home [COMPANY] Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate Tiptoed the chambermaids and stole their pearls Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls [BEN] Come along, love, come fly away, fly along Come along, fly away home Come along, love you've flown a long way You've flown all the day, come fly away home [MARY, spoken] Dickon? Are you here? Dickon? [BEN] Plant a hedge, cut it back Dig a hole, try and fill it Plant a rose, tie it back Find a mole, try and kill it It's a maze, this garden It's a maze of ways Any man could spend his day It's a maze, this garden It's a maze of paths But a soul can find the way For an old man knows How a year it goes How the cold hard ground In the spring comes 'round How the seeds take hold How the ferns unfold How an English garden grows Miss a step, trip and fall Miss the path, meet the wall Miss the way, miss a turn Getting lost is how you learn [COMPANY] It's a maze, this garden It's a maze of paths Meant to lead a man astray Turning left and then Turning left again's How the soul can find the way [BEN] But an old man knows How a year it goes How the cold hard ground In the spring comes 'round How the seeds take hold How the ferns unfold How an English garden grows [MARY] Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate [BEN] Mistress Mary, quite contrary [MARY] Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate Tiptoed the chambermaid and stole their pearls Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls [COMPANY] It's a maze, this garden It's a maze of paths Meant to lead a man astray Turning left and then Turning left again's How the soul can find the way It's a maze, this garden It's a maze of paths Meant to lead a man astray Turning left and then Turning left again's How the soul can find the way It's a maze, it's a maze It's an English garden maze It's a maze, it's a maze It's an English garden maze [BEN] Prune this, weed that Trim all around Plant this. See that's How an English garden grows [BEN, COMPANY] For an old man knows (Prune this) How a year it goes (Weed that) How the cold hard ground (Trim all) In the spring comes 'round (Around) How the seeds take hold (Plant this) How the ferns unfold (See that's) How an English garden grows [COMPANY] Prune this, weed that Trim all around Plant this. See that's How an English garden grows [BEN & COMPANY] For an old man knows How a year it goes How the cold hard ground In the spring comes 'round How the seeds take hold How the ferns unfold How an English garden grows [BEN, spoken] That was bloody awful. Do it again.  [BEN & COMPANY] For an old man knows How a year it goes How the cold hard ground In the spring comes 'round How the seeds take hold How the ferns unfold How an English garden grows How an English garden grows
