We Had A Place In That Garden

(album: Tarifa - 2023)

We had a place in that garden
Walked in the sunshine and bathed in the water
I'd show you the way again now
But I lost the thread of the meaning
Woke in the maze I'd forgotten what I came to say to you darling
It wasn't goodbye
But the world's moved on
As our century ends
And though we were parted
I stand here before you again
In the morning, sun in your eyes
And it's now that I see you
My hand at the door
You come up to meet me
To take me on down through the halls
Of your memories
Dark and the light
And we wait in the silence
And talk for a while

I'd missed the evening
And I'd missed the times that you looked at me
That way and didn't look back, no
But please don't misunderstand me
I would not change a thing
Though I have questions unanswered
And dreams I will never know
So here I'm unanchored unbound
At the edge of the forest
I would not abandon you now
At the crossing, through the dark
In the storm, I'm alive
Come now my sisters and brothers
I'd shelter with you through the night
We'll be walking the sun up
Until it's gone
