Garden of Love - Anna Eriksson

I’ve been killed, I really have

Softly shot by your magic hand

And the shimmering lights, glorious nights in the garden

I’ve been blind, yes I have

But something’s changed and I understand

What gentelness means in the garden

No, it’s not a secret that my heart had been buried, unfound

To the silence, to the dust

Into the sad and sorry ground

The garden of love, the garden of love gave me sorrow

The sinners and the saints

All they ever gave me were heartbrakes, babe

The Garden of Love, the Garden of Love left me hollow

The beggars and the fakes

All they ever gave me were heartaches, babe

And now you’re here to save me

Can I be saved?

I’ve been sad and so confused

That I’ve started wars just to feel abused

Scared of happiness, proud like a soldier

Now I’m lost without my shield

I’ve left all my arms on the battlefield

Through these rusty rhymes I plead, come to me

No, it’s not a secret that my heart had me buried, unfound

To the silence, to the dust, into the sad and sorry ground

The Garden of Love, the Garden of Love gave me sorrow

The sinners and the saints

All they ever gave me were heartbrakes, babe

The Garden of Love, the Garden of Love left me hollow

The beggars and the fakes

All they ever gave me were heartaches, maybe now you’re here to save me

Fruits of the tree in the midst of the garden

You shall not take it and you shall not pick it

God only knows that the day you will take it

Your eyes will be opened, your hearts will be poisoned

Take me, guide me, let me softly lie in your garden

Hold me, free me, never let me leave you
