The Garden Rose

I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true I love how the garden grows And I love the garden rose And I'll never sweep the alley though the alley might be clean And I'll never be for countries though I one day might be mean And I'll never be the master of a fortune with a name And I'll never know the difference though I might just know the same I love how the garden grows And I love the garden rose So I started to remember how to live in present time But I wanted to remember how it was when you were mine And I'll never know the reason or the season or the time Why we couldn't live together without a daily crime I love how the garden grows And I love the garden rose I love how the garden grows And I love the garden rose...
