Forsaken Gardens (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Where are all the joys of yesterday[00:00:00]
Where now is the happiness and laughter that we shared[00:00:11]
Gone like our childhood dreams aspirations and beliefs[00:00:21]
Time is a thief and he ravages our gardens [00:00:30]
Stripping saplings felling trees [00:00:39]
Trampling on our flowers sucking sap and drying seeds [00:00:47]
In the midnight candle-light of experience[00:00:56]
All colour fades green fingers grey [00:01:04]
Time alone shall murder all the flowers [00:01:20]
Still there's time to share our plots and all that we call' ours' [00:01:28]
How much worse then if we all deny each others' needs[00:01:37]
And keep our gardens privately[00:01:46]
Its getting colder wind and rain leave gashes[00:01:54]
Looking back I only see the friends I've lost [00:01:58]
Fires smoulder raking through the ashes[00:02:04]
My hands are dirty my mind is numb [00:02:08]
I count the cost of I'[00:02:11]
I need to get on I've got to tend my garden[00:02:17]
Got to shut you out no time to crave your pardon now [00:02:21]
Now I see the garden that I've grown is[00:02:42]
Just the same as those outside[00:02:45]
The fences that erected to protect simply divide [00:02:51]
There's ruination everywhere [00:03:00]
The weather has played havoc with the grass [00:03:02]
Does anyone believe his garden's really going to last[00:03:09]
In the time allotted us can any man keep miserly his own[00:03:17]
Is there any pleasure in a solitary growth[00:03:25]
Come and see my garden if you will [00:04:21]
I'd like someone to see it all before each root is killed [00:04:28]
Surely now its time to open up each life to all [00:04:42]
Tear down the walls if it's not too late[00:04:51]
There is so much sorrow in the world [00:05:07]
There is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain [00:05:14]
Somewhere on the road we have all taken a wrong turn [00:05:23]
How can we build the right path again[00:05:32]
Through the grief through the pain [00:05:48]
Our flowers need each other's rain[00:06:01]
