Garden of Jane Delawney - Trees


The poet's voice lingers on

His words hang in the air
The ground you walk upon
Might as well not be there
Might as well not be there
I'll take you through my dreams

Out into the darkest morning

Past the blood filled streams

Into the garden of Jane Delawney

Into the garden now
Though the rose is fair
Don't pluck it as you pass
For a fire will consume your hair

And your eyes will turn to glass
Your eyes will turn to glass

In the willow's shade
Don't lie to hear it weep

For its tears of gold and jade

Will drown you as you sleep

Will drown you now
Jane Delawney had her dreams

That she never did discover

For the flow that feeds the stream

Is the life blood of her lover

Is the life blood of her lover
And the purifying beam
Of the sun will shine here never

While the spirit of her dream
In the garden lives forever

Lives forever now
