Garden Of Little White Lies
No band, just me and I'm no performer
Story behind the song
Beth's lyrics caught my eye when she first posted them with someone else's music. I saw them again when she offered them up in one of our challenges. I finally got around to asking her if she would mind it if I put my own spin on them. She didn't so I did. I am also posting the first musication. It isn't a popularity contest, I just thought of it as another cool example of how differently two people can interpret the same song.
Lyrics
“Garden of Little White Lies”
© 2008 Lyrics Beth Williams, BMI / Music & Vocals Ricki E. Bellos
Timing was never their strong suit
So they just kept their eyes on the prize
And planted fake smiles on their faces
In their garden of little white lies
Day after day though, they hungered
For each other, and no more goodbyes
Relied on their dreams to sustain them
In their garden of little white lies
But twisting the truth can cause judgment to fade
And secrets get slippery when no one’s afraid
Those little white lies
Grew up 'round their thighs
As they played in the shade of their garden
But plant a black seed
It blooms twisted and bleeds
A minefield with no room to bargain
Harvest time came without warning
With haste, a gate left open wide
Then all came to stare at the two unaware
In their garden of little white lies
Their love and their fate had been one in the same
Until they made up their own rules to the game
Those little white lies
Grew up 'round their thighs
As they played in the shade of their garden
But plant a black seed
It blooms twisted and bleeds
A minefield with no room to bargain
