Painted the Garden

from FAWM Demos 2019 by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

You painted the garden it was overgrown
you said you saw the picture shown
when the moon was all aglow
looking down through the window's pane
and the oil in your hands
oh, it knows it knows

Love is hard when it holds you tight
and you can't do anything right
it traps and burns you and leaves you sad
but you'll be freer in the hazy light
that dances around outside memories
and I want the scene you show, you know

Night draws the snow across the road
it's a picture loved and then it goes
and you kept asking to be believed
with those hunting days left revealed
that carried you away angry free
told me you're still alive in the snow the snow

And any love that needs to win won't win
if this is the hurt that winning brings
and you'll paint the garden again you say#
yeah you'll paint the garden one golden day
and the oil will feel sweet and soft
when you know you love it and it knows you know
