Lyrics
High on a balcony, over a path of green
The gardener gazed at the darkening sky
Ooh, and his eyes held tears, and as the thunder nears
He takes a step and he cries
Old woman gone, living alone
Made up his mind it was time to go home
And he knew it, he knew it
(Once he dreamed and now he's dead)
Glasshouse green, splinter red
He was a lonely man and though his life was planned
He never saw the way that things could be
On his retirement day a man with a greenhouse came
Things would be different he could see
Work was his life, life was his pain
Mustn't let people think they were to blame
And he knew it, he knew it
(Once he dreamed and now he's dead)
Glasshouse green, splinter red
Poor soul, poor show, poor life, sad though
Poor kid's poured his life away
Poor soul, poor show, poor life, sad though
Poor kid's poured his life away
High on a balcony, over a path of green
The gardener gazed at the darkening sky
Ooh, and his eyes held tears, and as the thunder nears
He takes a step and he cries
Old woman gone, living alone
Made up his mind it was time to go home
And he knew it, he knew it
(Once he dreamed and now he's dead)
Glasshouse green, splinter red
