Lyrics Music from a Garden - The Gray Havens

Music from a Garden

​Back when they danced outside of time,
Before the stars would rule the night,
There was a dove flew o’er the deep, deep water,
And that’s when he heard,
The voice of the Lion start to speak,
And then there was light,
When the light hits the water, the colors shine,
Oh, but which one do you choose to paint the sky,
Blue was the one that won,
But he shares it with the others in the evening and dawn,
The rest of the colors were falling down,
The water came together,
And that’s when they heard,
The voice of the Lion name the ground,
I’m still dancing to the music from a garden,
That was so much brighter then,
With the echoes from a long forgotten song,
Escaping from my lungs within,
And you can hear the movement through,
The overture that’s playing if you listen to the end,
Because the dove and the composer will be dancing,
When the Lion comes again,
Cavernous empires of the sea,
Up through the clouds,
And on the green ground, green ground underneath,
Citizens rise with the dawn,
And that’s when they heard,
The voice of the Lion name the new son, new son,
I’m still dancing to the music from a garden,
That was so much brighter then,
With the echoes from a long forgotten song,
Escaping from my lungs within,
And you can hear the movement through,
The overture that’s playing if you listen to the end,
Because the dove and the composer will be dancing,
When the Lion comes again,
Blue was the one that won,
But he shares it with the others in the evening and dawn,
So I’ll sing to the kingdom of beauty as it began,
And I’ll dance in its shadows, until it comes again, 
I’m still dancing to the music from a garden,
That was so much brighter then,
With the echoes from a long forgotten song,
Escaping from my lungs within,
And you can hear the movement through,
Thee overture that’s playing if you listen to the end,
Because the dove and the composer will be dancing,
When the Lion comes again
