The Garden of Love by Rodney Money Lyrics
I went to the Garden of Love
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst
Where I used to play on the green
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And Thou shalt not. writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore
And I saw it was filled with graves
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds
And binding with briars, my joys & desires
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst
Where I used to play on the green
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And Thou shalt not. writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore
And I saw it was filled with graves
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds
And binding with briars, my joys & desires
