Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
When I saw you standin'
Standin' in the garden
In the garden, wet with rain
[Verse 2]
You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
As we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as I sat beside you, I felt the great sadness that day
In the garden
[Verse 3]
And then the one day, you came back home
You were a creature, all in rapture
You had your key to your soul, and you did open
That day you came back to the garden
[Verse 4]
The olden summer breeze was blowin' against your face, alright
The light of our Lord's shinin' on your countenance divine
And you were a violet color as you sat beside your father and mother
In the garden
[Verse 5]
The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
Within your violet, your treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight, and nature in the garden
[Verse 6]
And you went into a trance
Your childlike vision became so fine
And we heard little bells within the church
We loved so much, and felt the presence of the youth
Of eternal summers in the garden
Alright
[Verse 7]
And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
Born again you were, and blushed
And we touched each other lightly
And we felt the presence of the Christ within our hearts
In the garden
[Verse 8]
And I turned to you, and I said
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I, and nature
And the Father in the garden
Listen, no guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I, and nature
And the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost
In the garden, wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I, and nature
And the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost
In the garden
In the garden, wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I, and nature
And the Father in the garden
