The Garden Song

I’d like to plant a garden, and stick around to watch it grow.
I’d like to hold your hand and just see where this could go
oh, but you know I’m leaving I’m as good as gone
yeah I’m leaving this is the last song
and wishes are just horses I am too afraid to ride
I wish I could just open my mouth and say what I know is true
Like I wish there was time to do everything I want to do to you
but you know I’m leaving I’m as good as gone
yeah I’m leaving this is the last song
and wishes are just horses I am too afraid to ride
Your smile
your hair a mess
in that white white summer dress
in the cool winter heat of New Orleans
And if I saw you
saw you again I just might take your hand
and take you down and buy us pockets full of seed
but you know wishes are just horses I am too afraid to ride
you know wishes are just horses and I am too afraid to ride
I’d like to plant a garden, and stick around to watch it grow.
I’d like to hold your hand and just see where this could go
oh, but you know I’m leaving I’m as good as gone
yeah I’m leaving this is the last song
and wishes are just horses I am too afraid to ride
