Lyrics The Garden of Sampson & Beasley - Pink Martini

The Garden of Sampson & Beasley

Under Orion’s starry sky
I lie in the moonlit garden
Wondering where to cast my eyes
For all that I see is heaven
Oh why does it have to end?
I wish we could still pretend
You’re near, just around the bend
In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley
Last time we were in this place
Your face had a certain sadness
And oh.
How I’ve wondered since
What you’ve done with all that sadness
Oh why did it have to end?
I wish we could still pretend
Our love was around the bend
In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley
(Instrumental)
Oh oh … oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh … oh oh
Oh oh oh oh … oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh … oh oh oh
Under Orion’s starry sky
I lie in the moonlit garden
Wondering when I close my eyes
If I’ll ever find my heaven
Oh why will it never end?
These days where I still pretend
Our love is around the bend
In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley
