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 peas
Canterbury Bells begin to ring
The sparrows are stealing string
Hollyhocks 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 b*** 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.
