[Intro Chorus] When whispers and grey gardens lead to Dismay Born to decay Don't come near let this garden sway Before it's too late Let the reaper do what it may fadeaway [Verse 1] Forlong to these stains Circling the same old drain One person asks, Are you still there? For too long I've tried To not be the same The path overgrown The silence deep Reflecting all the choices that I have had A melody of sorrow This melody went hollow [Verse 2] Erasing time Past its fragile prime A whispered promise A lonely echo in this empty space The sunbeams through a grimy pane Try to lay awake Don't be like the living dead Try to stay awake [Chorus] When whispers and grey gardens lead to Dismay Born to decay Don't come near let this garden sway Strings bend low over the same old grain Before it's too late Let the reaper do what it may fadeaway [Bridge] Of what was meant to bloom for me The scent of dust, a fading dream I'm in this grey garden No soul to be found Each broken pane, a memory Don't let it bury me [Final Chorus] When whispers and grey gardens lead to Dismay Born to decay Don't come near let this garden sway Strings bend low over the same old grain Before it's too late Let the reaper do what it may fadeaway
