Lyrics
Seeds in the Garden
I was a boy musician, naive and full of hope.
You were an apparition made real to show me the ropes.
You said "Where you goin'?" I guess I should have known,
As soon as I walked through that door that I had found my home.
And so we joined together, headed who knew where.
Didn't need no compass or guide, we were already there.
Your mother warned against me; "musicians will corrupt."
She later learned you never know where love might erupt.
Like two seeds in the garden, how we reached for the light.
We would grow together so strong to fend off the night.
Like two seeds in the garden we grew together.
It's been thirty years and counting since that day in June,
when we stood up in front of the crowd and I made you swoon.
Thirty years and counting this old world's spun around.
I think that I might fly right off without you to hold me down.
Like two seeds in the garden we have found the sun.
We have grown together entwined where the waters run.
Like two seeds in the Garden we grow together.
