81 - Joanna Newsom

I found a little plot of land

In the Garden of Eden

It was dirt and dirt is all

The same

I tilled it with my two hands

And i called it

My very own

There was no one to dispute

My claim

Well you'd be shocked at the state of things

The whole place had just cleared right out

It was hotter'n hell

So i lay me by the spring

For a spell as naked as a trout

The wandering eye that i have caught

Is as hot as a wandering sun

But i will want for nothing more

In my garden; start again

In my heart and into every heart but one

Meet me in the Garden

Of Eden

Bring a friend

We are gonna have ourselves a time

We are gonna have a garden party

It's on me

No siree it's my dime

We broke our hearts in the war between

St George and the dragon

But both in equal parts are welcome

To come along

I'm inviting everyone

Farewell to loves that i have known

Even muddy as waters run

Tell me what is meant by sittin' alone

In a garden seceded

From the Union in the year of '81

The unending amends you made

Are enough for one life; be done

I believe in innocence

Little darlin' start again

I believe in everyone

I believe regardless

I believe in everyone
