When You Walk Amongst the Wilting Flowers

[Verse 1] My heart aches My love Because I know you're destined for the world I can only hold you for so long When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Chorus] And I'll miss you Oh Lover of mine When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Verse 2] There will be mornings I will wait For the sound of your steps at the gate But the road is calling, and the sky is wide Still I keep your name tucked close inside When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Chorus] And I'll miss you Oh Lover of mine When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Bridge] When the days grow shorter and the nights grow long When the cicadas come to the chorus of the garden song When the cold comes creeping and the winds howl I hope you find a warmth to thaw the frost from the boughs And if the dusk should draw a veil over our hands I'll love you through the silence, through the falling sands When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Chorus] And I'll miss you Oh Lover of mine When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden [Outro] So go softly now My heart And bloom beyond the garden's gate I will hold the shape of you in every fading day When you walk amongst the wilting flowers of the garden
