They live
in the garden of flowers,
They live in the garden of flowers
by the riverside.
They tend it every hour,
they tend it every hour,
that it may never die.
He sings to her in the morning,
He sings to her in the morning
from the riverside.
The river tells the story,
the river tells the story
to the waiting sky.
She held him while he was sleeping.
She held him while he was sleeping
in the light of day.
When he awoke, she was weeping.
When he awoke, she was weeping,
and she turned away.
Tears flow into the river,
the tears flow into the river
through the winter garden.
She carries flowers with her,
she carries flowers with her,
and lays them in his hand.
She sings to him in
the morning,
she sings to him in the morning,
from the river.
Then when the song is over,
when the song is over,
she will sing the song again.
When the song is over,
when the song is over,
she will sing the song again.
