Garden

**Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by 👻 GHOST 👻** [intro - Soft, ethereal] [verse 1 - airy layered harmonies] i saw you standing where the cypress leans, a glint of gold amid the tangled greens... my letter was creased, and the ink had dried, before i ever once caught your pretty eyes, i reached a hand out to your passin' ship, as it vanished for it's long and distant trip .. two driftin' souls that caught a different swell, with lovin' secrets that we’ll never tell.. but oh, the tides are pullin' more, a gentle wave of ache that I can't ignore.. i'm anchored here upon this frozen shore, while you go driftin' past the open door... [chorus 1] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushin' of a moonlit stream.. i’d trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, and let the calm of the moonlight fade... [verse 2 layered vocals] your name was written to another place, to some high valley where the mountains grace... and i’m just a traveler on these open roads, who carries memories like heavy loads... you found a harbor where the water’s still, beyond the shadow of this lonely hill... i see you moving through the mornin' light, while i sit bracin' for the comin' night... the stars are indifferent to the path we take, without a care for the hearts that may break... yet I'm here prayin' to the night sky, for one more chance to look you in the eye... [chorus 2] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushing of a moonlit stream.. i’d trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, and let the calm of the moonlight fade... [bridge] maybe in the next turn of the wheel, the wounds of time will begin to heal... we'll look upon the flowers bloom with no words to say, just you and me before the break of day... we’ll find that hidden garden where the gates are high, and i can finally stand there by your side... until then, i’ll keep you in my mind, as a pale moon in the dead of night... [final chorus] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushing of a moonlit stream.. i’d trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, and let the calm of the moonlight fade... [outro - Guitar fades into a hazy, atmospheric wash] let the calm of the moonlight fade...
