You ever tend a poisoned garden, Take upon a heavy burden, Pull back a phantom curtain, Try to help a woman hurtin’? I have And I’ll tell you how it goes. The well is deep, the slope is steep, You better look before you leap. The well is deep, the slope is steep, You better look before you leap. There’s nothing there, Nothing there When you go look, She’s now nowhere. A hundred dollars gets you twenty, Twenty gets you one. You can love her plenty, And she will only run. Lazy, crazy Daisy, Always leaving, playing “chase me.” I keep waiting, hesitating She keeps saying, “come and catch me.” The well is deep, the slope is steep, You better look before you leap. The well is deep, the slope is steep, You better look before you leap. There’s nothing there, Nothing there When you go look, She’s now nowhere. Oh, she’s hurting Yeah, anyone can see her burden. She’s suffering, suffering; All my love means nothing Up against her suffering. Once we had something tender, loving, Then came her suffering Left us with nothing. I think I thought I could be strong, I thought I saw a flower bloom. I want her still, I want her now, I always will. But when you go to check on her, She’s no longer even there. Oh, she’s not there No, she’s not there You can’t care, ’cause she’s now nowhere. Tending to a poisoned garden Just to save a single flower How much time, how much power Will you spend for that flower? Oh, that single flower, That poisoned flower It’ll kill you if you let it. It’ll kill you if you let it. She's a poisoned flower.
