The Gardener Of Eden (A Three Piece Suite) |
True I was a gardener, once upon a time. |
When the world ws young and all the earth was mine |
Mine to tend to, to plough and to sow. |
Before mankind came and rendered all things low. |
And beauty was it’s first name by this I would call. |
And ready the harvest for one and for all. |
The orchards and the wheatfields which could of fed the world, |
Were divided up like money and sold through human slaves |
The rivers fresh, the hillsides that had no need of name, |
Now ran red with the life blood and drunk with guilty shame. |
The gentle bough was broken and twisted out of shape, |
And who knows the consequences when the bough doth break, |
The mother soil which reared it’s young, now reared her angry head, |
And rain fell down like teardrops upon the flower beds. |
The blame for this I’m in no doubt, is mine and mine alone, |
But so proud was I of my work, I had to share it’s growth — |
'Tis true I was a gardener in the time before the flood, |
Now these greenfingers of mine — are stained by angels blood. |
