The Garden

from Hummingbird by Rooke

/

lyrics

Two drops of rain have fallen Bm
Soft upon my brow. F#m
I shouldn’t stand in the garden. Em G
So wet, the leaves are sullen,
Sunk toward the ground.
Still in such a scene, the heart can’t harden.

Cause in the distance, I see rows of marigold, A X 2 G D
And the pedals on which my fortune’s told. A X 2 G D

I am waiting here, but I’m not lost. G D G D
I’m just waiting for the dew to turn to frost. C A D G
I am waiting here, and I am cold. G D G D
I’m just waiting for the flowers to grow old. G D A Bm

Two stepping stones are sideways,
Veering off the path.
I always walk in the morning.
So pale, the sun is shining
Barely through the leaves.
Dark the shape elliptical, a thorn ring.
