[Verse 1] I still see her in the roses In the way the lilies lean Whispers hang like vines on fences Carried by the evergreens [Pre-Chorus] They say time heals, but time forgets I pull the weeds, still feel regrets [Chorus] There are ghosts in the garden, quiet and kind Walking barefoot through the corners of my mind They don’t rattle chains, they don’t slam doors They just bloom where love once poured I leave the gate wide open, I let them stay The ones I lost, who made me this way Ghosts in the garden, they don’t scare me now They’re just flowers I keep watered somehow [Verse 2] Grandma’s laugh in morning rain Dad’s old flannel on the swing Their voices echo in the breeze Like lullabies the robins sing [Pre-Chorus 2] I plant new roots, but still I find They hold my hand from the other side [Chorus] There are ghosts in the garden, quiet and kind Walking barefoot through the corners of my mind They don’t rattle chains, they don’t slam doors They just bloom where love once poured I leave the gate wide open, I let them stay The ones I lost, who made me this way Ghosts in the garden, they don’t scare me now They’re just flowers I keep watered somehow [Bridge] You never really lose the ones who knew you best They bloom again when your heart needs rest [Final Chorus] Ghosts in the garden, I see them still In every shadow, every daffodil They don’t haunt — they help me grow With every seed and soft hello… Ghosts in the garden, they don’t say goodbye They just wait where the wild things lie
