As i crawl through your garden
you stand and laugh
you stand and laugh
I tried to beg for your pardon
you stand and laugh
you stand and laugh
It's a long way coming down
the ladders in your eye
for a wednesday in your garden
i think that i would die
I tried to stand in your garden
but you're too tall
you're much too tall
you win the hand, i throw my cards in
you watched me fall
you watched me fall
It's a long way coming down
the ladders in your eye
for a wednesday in your garden
i think that i would die
I tried to fly in your garden
but you shot me down
mama you shot me down on the ground
i watched the sky above me harden
and your black gown your long back funeral gown
It's a long way coming down
the ladders in your eye
for a wednesday in your garden
i think that i would die.
