lyrics

And in your garden by your gate,
I used to run around in circles. 
Trying to call your name.
Trying, but nothing ever came. 
And if the wind asks, tell it to listen.
It could carry me to you. 
And if the rain comes, begging to let in,
lay down and you take it now. 
 
It was always that way.
There’s a thousand ways to Sunday.
Always a cold bouquet. 
Well, I could hardly wait to haunt you, haunt you. 
And if the wind asks, tell it to listen.
It will all come back to you. 
And if the rain tells you her secret, it may be true.
It may be true. 
 
At the Violet Hour,
the evening hour that strives homeward,
brings your shadow home, 
Breeding lilacs out of my memories,
is there no way out?
London Bridge is falling down. 
 
And in your garden by the gate,
I used to run around in circles. 
Minding my long white dress.
It was a long white dress. 
I wonder if he’s okay.
