From the recording Wintergarden
Lyrics
<p>I went to our winter garden, (Searching for lost time)<br /> Seeds of memory growin’, (Wild and high)<br /> I sat down in the place, (Where we fell from grace)<br /> And the face of a young girl passing reminded me of you.<br /> <br /> But the church bells weren’t ringing, birds weren’t singing<br /> The dead leaves clinging in the trees, a mournful requiem<br /> And the sun was frozen in the sky, the silent lovers passing by<br /> And the eye of the old man saying nothing good can stay<br /> <br /> So we drowned ourselves in alcohol, Our bodies followed protocol<br /> And the ghosts that we left out in the hall, the dogs who would have their day<br /> All the promises you’d broken, the others left unspoken<br /> Tokens of our union, dues that we could not pay<br /> <br /> All the things that you wanted, The weakness you flaunted<br /> All the strategies of your elegant decay<br /> Nothing<br /> Nothing good, she says<br /> Nothing<br /> Nothing good can stay</p>
