garden of eden

oh

you ran through the garden of eden

and what did you see?

was it thrilling

fulfilling

and all it was cracked up to be?

oh

you left her alone after placing a ring on her hand

oh

you ran through the garden of eden

you're barred from this land

now that woman you vowed to

she chased you out with a drum

and that love turned to anguish when all of her crying was done

and the ground broke beneath you

you lost everything that you know

oh

you ran through the garden of eden where no-one should go

if i could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?

i wrote you a letter every day

but the garden of eden took my love away

and you begged for forgiveness you cried until no tears were left

but that woman of wisdom had wished for you only the best

now your beard overgrown and dishevelled

you're barely a man

oh

you ran through the garden of eden

run as fast as you can

if i could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?

i wrote you a letter every day

but the garden of eden took my love away

there's no pain in this garden

the sky it knows nothing but blue

but perfection is nothing when all she can think of is you

and you broke her to pieces

set fire to all that she built

now you're left in the garden alone

with nothing but guilt

if i could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?

i wrote you a letter every day

but the garden of eden took my love away

if i could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?

i wrote you a letter every day

but the garden of eden took my love away

but the garden of eden took my love away
