hammill peter - Forsaken Gardens слова песни
Where are all the joys of yesterday?Where, now, is the happiness and laughter that we shared?Gone, like our childhood dreams, aspirations and beliefs --Time is a thief, and he ravages our gardens,stripping saplings, felling trees,trampling on our flowers, sucking sap and drying seeds.In the midnight candle-light of experienceall colour fades, green fingers grey....Time, alone, shall murder all the flowers,still, there`s time to share our plots and all that we call `ours`.How much worse, then, if we all deny each others` needsand keep our garden`s privately?Its getting colder, wind and rain leave gashes;looking back, I only see the friends I`ve lost.Fires smoulder, raking through the ashesmy hands are dirty, my mind is numb,I count the cost of `I` :"I need to get on, I`ve got to tend my garden;got to shut you out, no time to crave your pardon now".Now I see the garden that I`ve grown is just the same as those outside;the fences, erected to protect, simply divide....There`s ruination everywhere, the weather has played havoc with the grass --does anyone believe his garden`s really going to last?In the time allotted us, can any man keep miserly his own?Is there any pleasure in a solitary growth?Come and see my garden if you will ----I`d like someone to see it all before each root is killed.Surely now its time to open up each life to all ----tear down the walls, if its not too late!There is so much sorrow in the world;there is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain;Somewhere on the road we have all taken a wrong turn ----how can we build the right path again?Through the grief, through the pain,our flowers need each others` rain....
