The Garden Lyrics by Isla

Chairs

2016

Songbirds pattern
, start of a span
Swallow’s return
, catch me if you can
I’m gliding in the garden, gliding in the garden
Now and then I’m open, an open heart

My heartbeat shivers 
down to my spine, 
I open my wings
 and fly away the line but I’m trapped in the garden, trapped in the garden
Now and then I’m taken
, a taken heart

He’s winsome, he’s smiling and you say “what else?"
The time is screaming, 
I’m rooting myself
I’m lying in the garden, lying in the garden
Now and then I’m wooden
, a wooden heart
Where?
Where?
Where did I? where did where did where did I?
Where did I? where did where did where?

Oh warm body
 Where did I run ?
I’m blindly sorry
I thought it was the sun
I’m freezing in the garden, freezing in the garden
Now and then I’m broken, a broken heart

Wish I could find the failure (I), a trapdoor in the sea
Wish I could make (I) a fifth season to be born again, you see
Wish I could plant (Where did I? where did where did I?) new flavours and feed me with the seeds
Wish I could slow (Where did I? where did, where where did I?) the hours
 and wear my own skin

I’ll be breathing in the garden, breathing in the garden
 but I’ll ever be a human heart…
