The Trilobytes - In the Garden

Use to be all a boy needs a girl to carry his name
Tied up like a ribbon, one soul just the same
For better or for worse till sometimes it ends in indifference
Idleness is the devil's pistol, love is his grievance

If it takes me a hundred years
Till the end of my life is near
Is that the voice that I long to hear
Soft in my ear

Only then will my sight be clear
Wash the beam from my eyes I fear
Have I been throwing rocks my dear
When I should have shed tears

I'll be wandering
In the garden
But when the Lord speaks
Will I hear?
I'll be stumbling
Down the mountain
I'll be trembling
In my fear
Oh in my fear

Tired of living rough so I'm soldiering off in the war
But still asking, what's it all for
Any day or today it's a choice to measure your life
Choose mercy again
Never think twice

If it takes me a hundred years
Till the end of my life is near
Is that the voice that I long to hear
Soft in my ear

Only then will my sight be clear
Wash the beam from my eyes I fear
Have I been throwing rocks my dear
When I should have shed tears

When the light comes
I'll be struck dumb
Like Peter saw the Son
And his fate was made clear
When the dark cloud
Terrible in its holy shroud
Brings silence all around
I wish you were here
Oh i wish you were here

I'll be wandering
In the garden
But when the Lord speaks
Oh Will I hear
I'll be stumbling
Down the mountain
I'll be trembling
In my fear
Oh in my fear
