Garden rose

I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me
I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me
And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue
And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true
I love how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose

And I'll never sweep the alley though the alley might be clean
And I'll never be for countries though I one day might be mean
And I'll never be the master of a fortune with a name
And I'll never know the difference though I might just know the same
I love how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose

So I started to remember how to live in present time
But I wanted to remember how it was when you were mine
And I'll never know the reason or season or the time
Why we couldn't live together with out a daily crime
I love how how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose
I love the how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose...
