Lyrics
EMMY?S GARDEN
This is the story of Emmy?s garden
she took it with her everywhere that she would go
walk with me down through Emmy?s garden
and listen for a voice you used to know
A poison rain fell on Emmy?s garden
her loving hands tended to the futile ground
she saved everything in Emmy?s garden
the rain let up she was nowhere to be found
secrets
buried in the ground
sprang up
through the tired town
leaving
shadows where her light had been
streaming in
Among the thorns left in Emmy?s garden
I found a place where her precious seeds had grown
in crooked earth that was cracked and hardened
some mysteries are just better left unknown.
