The Sun and the rain Fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love And there's a rose for the way My spirits rose when we met A forget-me-not to remind me To remember not to forget A pine tree for the way I pined over you And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true And the Sun and the rain Fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love And there's a palm tree that we planted When we had our first date A turnip for the way you always Used to turn up late Your mother and your cousin Chris They often used to come So, in their honor, I have raised A nice Chris 'n' the-mum And the Sun and the rain Fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love And there's a beetroot for the day That you said that you'd be true to me A sweet pea for the sweet way You always smiled at me But you had friends who needed you There was Ferdy, there was Liza So in their honor I put down A load of fertilizer And the Sun and the rain Fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love But Gus the gardener's left now And you went with him too The fungus here reminds me Of the fun Gus is having with you Now the rockery's a mockery With weeds, it's overgrown The fuchsia's gone I couldn't face the fuchsia all alone And my tears fell like raindrops From the sky above And poisoned all the flowers In my garden of love
