In general, a meditative reflection on the incongruousness of life
Artist picture
Alternative country contemporary christian pop/rock
When I was 22 a young lawyer took one of my songs and put it on the ‘B' side of his recording of Ave Maria. He invited me to watch the recording session at Criteria in Miami, Florida. Since that moment all I have ever wanted was to have my music recorded by professional musicians and sung by established artists. This truly is a monumental task as I do not perform live so I have recorded my own material as a means to get exposure and as a way for artists to be able to judge the “cover” worth of my songs. I am looking for a publishing deal. Contact Info: Jim Blachura C/O Stablesongs Phone: 336 995 0813 E Mail: saintlymanmusic@yahoo.com Saintly Man Music /ASCAP

Story behind the song
This, along with Walk, Thomas (song 37) were from a Christian song cycle, a rockumentary, if you will, about the last days of Christ...it never was finished but some of the songs remain
Lyrics
As I walked along the garden I saw you Suddenly you came into view Yes, the flowers and the trees reflect your grace But, you know, I really think I saw your face Yes, there were people standing 'round And I thought of how my life would be spent on the ground Living every moment just for them Not having anybody in the end Sitting on a corner by the side I sw some children playing seek and hide They were young and they hadn't cut their hair And one day I knew they'd have to care One ran past me and I tried to call a name But I was too old to play their game And I thought when they were all grown up to be Something of a carbon plate of me All the people have come down off their thrones They all started living in their homes But this all seemed to be just something of a dream When I passed on my the beach I heard the waves As the sun came up I know I felt the rays And I thought that I was one with all the living And then I realized it was you giving Then I thought of all the good things passing by And I noticed how the rest of men were asking why So I told them I had it all inside And then went off alone and I cried
