The Garden Bed

from The Myth of Snugglepuss by Quark Lepton

/

lyrics

G
The garden bed is overgrown
D
And the fruit rots in the sun
G
The seasons change and change again
D A6/F#
The cold retreats but will return

The obelisk I dreamed about
A G
Casts a shadow in this world

These are the things I think about
A6/F# A
As I wait for you to come

G
The worm got round and filled with fruit
D
The tomatoes in the Spring
Bm D A6/F#
Overripe and definite, but softening

The world will turn, return again
A G
The shadow cast upon the moon

And to the end of the path
D A6/F#
I hope that it won’t come to soon

A6/F#
Now all that’s done, to say goodbye
A
To say it only asks a time

And fortunate, unfortunate
D A6/F#
Well who’s to say which one is mine?

The obelisk I dreamed about

A G
Descends and bends me to its will

It is a dream, and warm metal
D A6/F#
It is both real and unreal

A6/F#
What’s left to say? We kill for words
A G
Our flesh is made to shed ideals

And I will bleed and you will bleed
Bm A
Never knowing how it feels
G
The stage right now is bare again
D
Pianos rotting in the rain
G
The pages fade; the words are lost
D A6/F#
And Heaven knows what will remain

The obelisk I dreamed about
A G
Casts a shadow in this world

These are the things I think about
A/F# A
As I wait for your return
