The Garden Rules Testo

There's the river there's your house and there's the church
There is us years ago
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
That's what you always said

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so Oh you will never know how much I love you

You would call the garden rules out like commands
And we would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
And puncture the pretend

Then we would chase our tails

Until the sun forgot to shine

And our parents called our names

'Til just you and I were left



Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you



From your house we walk the river

To the church by the silent fields

Amongst the lavender and headstones

And the larks in our Sunday clothes

Your father calls to you

As he's looking at his watch
 You leave me with a kiss

On my quickly heating cheek



Oh you'll never know how much I love you so

Oh you will never know how much I love you
