Lyrics
The Forgotten Garden
(Intro)
(sound of someone laboring as if they are dragging something … incoherent mumbling and quiet giggling …)
Over and under … and through the woods (whispered and panting)
… to … (fades)
(Verse)
Mother … would you move your arm for me?
I’m trying hard to take you home
You keep snagging on the trees
I’ve brought you all the way here …
From there …
(Verse)
Mother … you’ve always been so good to me
So quick to help me understand
That nothing in life is free
See how far I’ve come …
From there …
(Chorus)
And just look we’re almost home
Passing through the gate
You won’t believe your eyes
Don’t peek yet, you have to wait
But all your friends are here …
In the garden …
(Verse)
Daddy … so happy that you’re home
Haven’t seen you for a while
Have you been here all alone?
See how much I’ve grown …
From then …
(Verse)
Daddy … how come you never wanna play
You sit and stare out the window
With thoughts you won’t say
At least the smell has dulled …
From then …
(Chorus)
And just look, from your window
You can see the gate
One day I’ll take you there
For now you have to wait
But all your friends are there …
In the garden …
