In A Blanket Of Leaves by Elfin Saddle Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2012

Come take faith in a garden I know
Come take this branch and wave it
Fast disappearing to a faraway time
To an empty black void
Come take heed of a garden I know
Savour its beauty and fragrance
Fast disappearing as a ravenous meal
To an empty black void
Come make haste to a garden I know
Come with your plow and spade
Fast disappearing as a memory fades
To be burned at the wooden stake
Come make way for a garden I know
The garden that nurtures our bodies
Fast disappearing to the hungry desires
Of the consummate fire
Oh bury me whole
Cover me over
Carry me home
I’m at the back door hammering my hands
With a broken umbrella and striped suit
The rain it came roaring
All running through my clothing
A rumbling river at my feet
Now on the ground with the water all around
And the rainfall relentlessly goes on
Shook down all the leaves
From all the surrounding trees
Now I wear them like a blanket from the cold
