Name: Rose's Garden
Duration: P00H04M22S
Description: When I asked my friend Megan what she wanted her song to be about, she gave me a line of poetry she wrote when she was four years old. "Rose's garden is beautiful. But we never ever say that in the long dark sky." What an inspiration! I thought of a sort of old-fashioned ghost story, with flowers at the heart of it, and wrote this in the locker room of Mystic Aquarium.

lyrics

Rose's garden is beautiful
But we never never say that
In the long dark sky
Rose's garden is beautiful
But we never never never never never say that
In the long dark sky

Rose plants willows in her garden gold
Lilies, violets, yellow tulips bold
She plants milkweed and chrysanthemum
But she never plants a rose tree
And I don't ask why

Rose plants asters and wisterias
Phlox and sages and Veronicas
She plants irises and daffodils
But she never plants a rose tree
And I don't ask why

Won't you come into my garden green?
Garden perfumed like a world unseen?
Rose, Oh Rosie, won't you marry me?
When I shower her with roses
She begins to cry

Now she walks the flowered dark alone
Black-eyed Susan keeps her company
Coralbells and hostas cling to her
And she never plants a rose tree
'Neath the long dark sky

Rose's garden is beautiful
But we never never say that
In the long dark sky
Rose's garden is beautiful
But we never never never never never say that
In the long dark sky

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
