Lyrics Milly's Garden - Steve Gunn

Milly's Garden

Last time you’ll hear the prayer
The wicked lady shares
When her head dips back
Loud as a storm
Slips into your sweet day
You’ll hear the others say
«Come on, mama, can you keep it down?»
Your faith is savage
And your mind is damaged
You’re more than halfway there
That place is wrong
But you’ll move on
You’re already gone
Them little lousy dogs
Been tied up all day long
Barking at the wall, gonna
Surely break you down
You know it took so long
For the fool to come
Unlock the gate and let them out
Your faith is savage
And your mind is damaged
You’re more than halfway there
That place is wrong
But you’ll move on
You’re already gone
A heavy silence there
Is hard to compare
A final haul
In your bitter song
I wonder who will see
A devil’s child-to-be
As your man hangs in the yard
Your faith is savage
And your mind is damaged
You’re more than halfway there
That place is wrong
And you’ll move on
You’re already gone
