How The Garden Grows

Winter's hard to rhyme

We're prisoners in some icy pantomime

Just waiting for the wind to change his mind

And sing us green

April starts to whisper to the trees

I hoe and you plant the trees

Canterbury Bells begin to ring

The sparrows are stealing string

Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee

Now life's a major key

We've got mud between our toes

This is how the garden grows

Midnight in July

We see the season spread across the sky

We wake up to a nosy dragonfly

Against the screen

You just love to bite me where it shows

You kiss me then hide my clothes

Running through the sprinklers nearly raw

We've just disproved Newton's law

How can I break even with the weeds

In love so beyond my needs

Blossoms on you Mama's rose

This is how the garden grows
