The Garden Rules

There's the river there's your house and there's
the chuch and there's us years ago deep in
your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves Yes we were just
kids but you couldn't tell us that These are the
garden rules that's what you always Said.

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you.

You would call the garden rules out like commands
and we would all obey but you'd
stifle giddy laughter as you spoke and puncture
the pretend then we would chase our tails
until the sun forgot to shine and our parents
called our names 'Til just you and I were left.

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you.

From your house we walk the river to the church
by the silent fields amongst the lavender and
headstones and the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you as he's looking at his
watch You leave me with a kiss on my quickly
heating cheek.

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you.
