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 |
