Garden Song

[Violin Solo]

[Verse 1]
What shall we grow in your garden, my dear
If my seed comes to breed in your nursery?
A dolphin or a Deva or a true devotee
So your love might never grow thirsty

[Chorus]
For a soul is so real and so whole and so free
And a body is so frail and so human are we
Are we dreaming?
Is this the Earth dreaming too?
Will we live till we die, wondering why
Or will we learn to grow

[Post-Chorus]
Day by day by
Day by day by day?

[Verse 2]
With the fruit of your labour asleep at your breast
Will you nurture them softly and quietly?
And when, next thing, the offspring have flown from the nest
Can you love them and let them go quietly?

[Chorus]
For a soul is so real and so whole and so free
And a body is so frail and so human are we
Are we dreaming?
Is this the Earth dreaming too?
Will we live till we die, wondering why
Or will we learn to grow

[Post-Chorus]
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by day?

[Verse 3]
And here comes the autumn when leaves turn to gold
And the waning moon silvers me lightly
In the afternoon sun, it's good fun to grow old
As you hold me and lie with me quietly

[Chorus]
For your love is so real and so whole and so free
And your body is so frail and so human are we
Are we dreaming?
Is this the Earth dreaming too?
Will we live till we die, wondering why
Or will we learn to grow

[Post-Chorus]
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by day?

[Verse 4]
And when old Father Time rings the chimes of my years
And I see my life turning around me
When you lay me down in your garden, my dear
Will you kiss me and let me go lightly?

[Chorus]
For a death is so real and so whole and so free
And a body is so frail and so human are we
Are we dreaming?
Is this the Earth dreaming too?
Will we live till we die, wondering why
Or will we learn to grow

[Post-Chorus]
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by
Day by day by day?
