There's the river, there's your house, and there's the church.
And there's us years ago.

Deep in your garden where the meadow met the roads
Is where we would hide ourselves.

Yes we are just kids,
But you could tell us that.
“These are the garden rules”
Is what you always said.

Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya

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.

And 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 will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya

From your house above the river
To the church by the silent fields
Amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes

Your father calls out to you as he is looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek

Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya

Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya

Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya

Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love ya
