Tell Me There's A Garden

(album: Native Dreamer Kin - 2014)

We buried a seed underneath the ground
We waited to see if the rain would come down

Tell me it's a good start
I'm a good heart
And this might turn us back around
Tell me that the rain will fall
That this garden wall
Will see us grow up out the ground

We watched as the seasons came and passed
Autumn, winter, and spring: still the drought outlasted us

Tell me it was a good start
I'm still a good heart
Though I couldn't grow us a flower
I can't make the rain fall
Or the trees tall
Any more than what yours could be ours
You're not ours

Oh, there's no more reason to wait
Oh, there's no more reason to wait
Oh, there's no more reason to wait
Oh, there's no more reason to wait

Tell me there's a garden where my flowers will grow
Maybe then all my starting will keep going, oh
I hope so
