Golden Gardens

lyrics

Flew to New York
Fell in love in Boston
Stared at me with coals
Ohh that's hot
Now I want to see her
Now it seems so silly
I think it's about time
I got up and got out

Imagined my home as a golden garden
With fruit and flowers
And veggies and trees
I needed a bird big enough to carry my bones
To see the stars
From the homes of angels

So Seattle it welcomed me back
The hills and mountains
Seemed to sing to me. They sang,
"Please don't leave us again."
I said, "No
I can't
'Cause you
You make me wild
You make me wild
Like a little child
I think I'll stay awhile."

Oh Rainier she is my dear
When I see her slopes I sweat I swoon
She doesn't like to come out when it's rainy
But when she glitters in the sun
My heart it flutters

I never found a place even when it's pouring
That refuses to quit or admit it's boring
We can find a hilly path going right to the sea
You have to believe
This is where you're meant to be
Get here right next to me

You got a real good habit of saying the right thing
And a real good mind for eyeing the truth
