Secret Gardens |
My grandmother’s house is still there but it isn’t the same |
A plain wooden cottage, a patch of brown lawn |
And a fence that hangs standing and sighing in the Seattle rain |
I drive past the strangers and wish they could see what I see |
A tangle of summer birds flying in sunlight |
A forest of lilies, an orchard of apricot trees |
Secret gardens of the heart where the flowers bloom forever |
I see you shining through the night in the ice and snow of winter |
Great grandfather’s house is still there but it isn’t the same |
The barn is torn down and the fences are gone |
The Idaho wind blows the topsoil away every spring |
I still see the ghosts of the people I knew long ago |
Inside the old kitchen they bend and they sigh |
My life passed them up and the world in it’s way passed them by |
Secret gardens of the heart where the old stay young forever |
I see you shining through the night in the ice and snow of winter |
But most of all it is me who has changed but I’m still the same |
That’s me at the weddings, that’s me at the graves |
Dressed like the people who once looked so grown up and brave |
I look in the mirror through the eyes of the child that was me |
I see willows bending, the season is spring |
Silver blue sailing birds fly with the sun on their wings |
Secret gardens of the heart where the dreams live on forever |
I see you shining through the night in the ice and snow of winter |
Secret gardens of the heart where the flowers bloom forever |
I see you shining through the night in the ice and snow of winter |
