Gardens v. Mowers

Watch the lush garden from the high window It's an island maze It's a skillful growth we sowed Weave yourself into the Colours of the garlands and laurels Such a happy place to be in Set the small pebbles by the undergrowth In a secret code that only you will know Swipe the brume out of the way Of the light in the room So you can see the fable you're in Living in a world of wallpaper wisteria Close enough, close enough You came here to pick flowers Now you're mowing the lawn Close enough, close enough You came here to pick flowers Now you're mowing the lawn Mourn the slow river as a low minstrel It's a gravel road with a plastic parasol Take a nice picture as a memento It's a landmark soul, it's a pasture in repose Weave yourself into the Colours of the garlands and laurels Such a happy place to be in Living in a world of wallpaper wisteria Close enough, close enough You came here to pick flowers Now you're mowing the lawn Close enough, close enough You came here to pick flowers Now you're mowing the lawn
