Growing a Garden

Fade in on a hard day
Heavy eyes, there's a light from the doorway
It's too hard to see now, mm
Close up and a cutaway
Freeze frame to a man on the corner sign says
The Sun will come out

As I look in from the window
There's a bird on the wire
Saying maybe tomorrow

Standing in an empty apartment
Hanging up the phone from a hard goodbye
For every tear you cried, there was a reason why
If you knew you were growing a garden
Buried in the ground of a grand design
On the nights you would wonder, what time would recover
If you only knew, you were growing a garden

Oh what would you do with that
Would you laugh, would you cry, would you sigh and accept it
Or just pray for some rain, someday

Yeah you're carrying the feeling
The weight of desire
Maybe tomorrow

Standing in an empty apartment
Hanging up the phone from a hard goodbye
For every tear you cried, there was a reason why
If you knew you were growing a garden
Buried in the ground of a grand design
On the nights you would wonder, what time would recover
If you only knew, you were growing a garden

And it hit you on the drive
You just cried and cried and cried
For miles and miles and miles
Just couldn't stop
And it totaled who you are
It finally settled in
For every broken part
You were growing a garden

You were growing a garden
You were growing a garden
You were growing

Here in my garden
All of my flowers grow
Here in my garden
