Sammy Copley The Garden
Come visit in the garden
On some sunny afternoon
Come find me in the flowers
Like you always used to do
Come disrupt our silence
This pact we softly made
To keep things how we left them
And leave other things unnamed
You've dusted off the old book
The one I dearly missed
You've come to read a chapter
The one we often skipped
I'll sit a while and listen
It's the civil thing to do
But lovе, I didn't need to read
The thing I always knew
You greet mе with a kindness
But I can see it in your eyes
Your soul is new to heartache
Mine has been here many times
I want to wrap you up and tell you
Your pain is fully grown
That's not a lesson I can give you
You've got to learn it on your own
So I'll water my petunias
And send you on your way
We find strength in funny places
But once we do, it's here to stay
So come visit in the garden
When you've stopped picking at your wounds
My love, I think it's very clear
We've got some growing left to do
