The Garden by The Dowling Poole Lyrics

Switch off the phone, cover up now, put a blanket on me
Block out the light, need protection from, the prying eyes now, yeah
On a good day the sun will keep the black dog at bay
And light me on my way

When the demons come to haunt you late at night
When you’ve given up the ghost and you can’t fight

You can step into the garden of a million tortured souls
You can learn to cope as one in an oasis of reflection

My profile is low, wrapping up now, hibernating from you
I have to shut down - need sedation, want protection from you, yeah
But the journey is meaningless when travelled alone
And light me on my way

When the monster rears it’s ugly head once more
And your will can’t keep the vampires from your door

You can step into the garden of a million tortured souls
You can learn to cope as one in an oasis of reflection
Don’t stare - I’m so scared of my reflection
Don’t care much for having to reflect on my fears
Light me on my way
Please light me on my way

Maybe we could step into the garden of a million tortured souls
We’re all working from a script where we adopt familiar roles
(We can’t beat this living hell if we all stick together)
We can languish in the garden of a million tortured souls
We can learn to cope as one in an oasis of reflection
(We’ll beat this living hell as one, together)
