lyrics

In the Garden

Devils, thorns, and gears
'Been that way for years
Ridin' shot-gun fears
Through the garden
Stay awake all night
Looking for a fight
The whites of their eyes
In the garden

Chorus 1 & 2:
I have seen the picture and it's getting worn with age
I swear it doesnít look like it used to in this place

You come when you are young
Get out of the sun
The shadow of the gun
In the garden
Still hear Momma's call
Sheís lookin' for her shawl
The locusts took it all
In the garden

bridge 1:
I hear somebody laughin' , I hear somebody laughin'
I hear somebody laughin' in the garden

I dreamed I had a dream
I woke up by a stream
I could not move or scream
In the garden
I feel the sky grow heavy
The ground is getting wetter
I have a sinking feeling
It gets worse before better, better

Chorus 3:
I have seen the picture and it's getting worn with age
I swear it never looked like it does now in this place

bridge 2:
And I hear somebody weepin', I hear somebody weepin'
I hear somebody weepin' in the garden
I hear somebody weepin' (repeat)

about

Doug Burr Denton, Texas

"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
