Garden of Stars by The Pine Box Boys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a sermon in that Bible for the wicked
I reckon we need
But this night has brown as black as that leather
And it's too dark to read
And the promise that I made to my woman
Are the only words that I've ever kept true
[Chorus]
I said: I'll bury you at night, and I'll hide you out of sight
And a garden of stars will bloom for you
[Verse 2]
In the gray and wintry hills of the Old Dominion
Where little grows
There's a place I can recall to my vision
Where no one goes
And I promised to plant for you a garden
But you promised you'd always be true
[Chorus]
And so I'll bury you at night, while the moon is shining bright
And a garden of stars will bloom for you
There's a sermon in that Bible for the wicked
I reckon we need
But this night has brown as black as that leather
And it's too dark to read
And the promise that I made to my woman
Are the only words that I've ever kept true
[Chorus]
I said: I'll bury you at night, and I'll hide you out of sight
And a garden of stars will bloom for you
[Verse 2]
In the gray and wintry hills of the Old Dominion
Where little grows
There's a place I can recall to my vision
Where no one goes
And I promised to plant for you a garden
But you promised you'd always be true
[Chorus]
And so I'll bury you at night, while the moon is shining bright
And a garden of stars will bloom for you
