Hammill Peter - Forsaken Gardens Lyrics

Where are all the joys of yesterday?

Where now is the happiness and laughter that we shared?

Gone like our childhood dreams aspirations and beliefs --

Time is a thief and he ravages our gardens

Stripping saplings felling trees

Trampling on our flowers sucking sap and drying seeds.

In the midnight candle-light of experience

All colour fades green fingers grey....

Time alone shall murder all the flowers

Still there's time to share our plots and all that we call 'ours'.

How much worse then if we all deny each others' needs

And keep our garden's privately?

Its getting colder wind and rain leave gashes;

Looking back i only see the friends i've lost.

Fires smoulder raking through the ashes

My hands are dirty my mind is numb

I count the cost of 'i' :

"i need to get on i've got to tend my garden;

Got to shut you out no time to crave your pardon now".

Now i see the garden that i've grown is just the same

as those outside;

The fences erected to protect simply divide....

There's ruination everywhere the weather has

played havoc with the grass --

Does anyone believe his garden's really going to last?

In the time allotted us can any man keep miserly his own?

Is there any pleasure in a solitary growth?

Come and see my garden if you will ----

I'd like someone to see it all before each root is killed.

Surely now its time to open up each life to all ----

Tear down the walls if its not too late!

There is so much sorrow in the world;

There is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain;

Somewhere on the road we have all taken a wrong

turn ----

How can we build the right path again?

Through the grief through the pain

Our flowers need each others' rain....
