The Gardener

Lyrics

I sense a runner in the garden Although my judgment's known to fail Once built a steamboat in a meadow 'Cause I'd forgotten how to sail I know the runner's going to tell you There ain't no cowboy in my hat So now he's buried by the daisies So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe I sense a spy up in the chimney From all the evidence I'll burn I guess he'll read it in the smoke now And soon to ashes I'll return I know the spy is going to tell you It's not my flag up in the pole So now he's buried by the lilies So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe I sense a leak inside my phone now From all the lies I have told I know he has your private number And soon he'll make that vicious call I know the leak is going to tell you There ain't no puppy on your leash So now he'll fertilize the roses So I could stay the king you see In your eyes, babe In your eyes, babe So now we're dancing through the garden And what a garden I have made And now that death will grow my jasmine I find it soothing, I'm afraid Now there is no need for suspicion There ain't no fraud kissing your hand I won't be lying when I tell you That I'm a gardener, I'm a man In your eyes, babe In your eyes, babe In your eyes, babe In your eyes, babe
