The Gardener of
Eden
I am the old dreamer who
never sleeps
I am timekeeper of the timeless dance
I preserve the long rhythms of the earth
and fertilize the rounds of desire
I am timekeeper of the timeless dance
I preserve the long rhythms of the earth
and fertilize the rounds of desire
In my evergreen
arboretum
I raise flowering hopes for the world
I plant seeds of perennial affection
and wait for their passionate bloom
I raise flowering hopes for the world
I plant seeds of perennial affection
and wait for their passionate bloom
Would you welcome that sight
if you saw it?
Revalue the view you have lost?
Could you wake to the innocent morning
and follow the risks of your heart?
Revalue the view you have lost?
Could you wake to the innocent morning
and follow the risks of your heart?
Every day I grow a dream in
my garden
where the beds are laid out for love
When will you come to embrace it
and join in the joy of the dance?

When will you come to embrace it
and join in the joy of the dance?
