Wild Garden

Verse:
I am a wild garden
Untamed and oh so free
Been sitting here
With the moon and the cats
Growing majestically

My vines are all knotted and twisted
My grass grows straight and tall
And in the hush of the night
If you slow yourself down
You can hear pitter pat on the prowl.

The path it lies abandoned
Look around and you'll see the old gate
There's a deep old well
Covered by an old wooden board
Now don't hesitate

Just, come in and
Join me for a while

Chorus:
Water me
Water me
From that deep old well
It hasn't been used for years

Spoken:
The oak said it was dragon tears but the rooster he disagreed.

Water me,
Water me
Douse me and Drench me
Oh love,

Pour yourself out on me,
Soaking me
As I draw you deep down to my roots...
Deep deep down to my mighty roots

Verse:
I have so many secrets
The seasons have aged me
Black Eyed Susans and
Crushed pine cones
Rocks mossy and green

The vines run up the old stone walls
Wrapping themselves snugly around me
Coiled, tight they latch on to my skin
Giving me a strange sense of security

Now won't you come in and join me for awhile
Keep me some company

Chorus:
And just
Water me
Water me
From that deep old well
It hasn't been used for years

Water me,
Water me
Drench me and dowse me
Untwist and untangle me
Oh love, just pour yourself out on me
Soaking me,

As I pull you right down to my roots

Right straight down to my mighty roots
Deep deep down to my mighty roots

Spoken:
The oak said it was dragon tears
But the rooster he disagreed
He decreed that when the old grape vein
Starts to bear fruit again
That the waters will turn a bright berry red
And that we will sip the holy wine
And that you will sleep nights in the garden

Outro.
Water me
Simply tend to me
Water me
Simply tend to me
As I draw you deep down to my roots
Deep deep down to my mighty roots
