Lyrics In the Garden - Jace Everett

In the Garden

He moved across the water
Until he made dry land
And drew up from the muddy banks
This very simple man
He reached into my brittle cage
Wanna help to lend a hand
And up until I saw your face
I didn’t know I’d need a plan
The fruit falls from the branches
The scales fall from our eyes
The world spreads out before us
And love is all I find
In the garden
Won’t you stay with me
In the garden
Darling never leave
In the garden
I don’t want
I don’t want to be free
The years they never get to him
The way they get to you and me
Guess it’s true, what ophidian said
I was blind and now I see
The crimson kiss that’s on our lips
That ain’t nothing but a stain
From love that never could forgive
The simplest growing pains
In the garden
Won’t you stay with me
In the garden
Say you’ll never leave
In the garden
I don’t want
I don’t want to be free
What we were meant to find there
Was never made too clear
But footsteps in the darkness
Won’t run me out of here
In the garden
Won’t you stay with me
In the garden
Say you’ll never leave
In the garden
Won’t you stay with me
I don’t want
I don’t want to be free
