Lyrics

And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life
And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking at his song-bird
And he's looking at his wings

There inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said, 'won't you come and be my lover?'
'Lemme give you a little kiss'
And he came, knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
'I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay awhile with me'

And there was trouble taking place
Trouble taking place..

There inside the garden
They kissed, and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone
And the wind, it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings

And there was trouble taking place
Trouble taking place..
