Lyrics Garden of Eden - Paula Cole

Garden of Eden

Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent
I simply watch, your little life from high above
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul
I dig my grave, behind the gates of Babylon
There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden
I’m beckoning, but you ignore my siren song
Oh I long, to touch you, to step inside your sacred gate
I’ll dig my grave in the middle of golden bible snake
There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
The black-eyed bird is dying
The queen is dead
She’ll never step foot in Eden
There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
