lyrics

MEET ME IN THE GARDEN
words & music by E.P. Schwartz

Me and you
in the fighting time
walked away
with mouths full of ultimatums and lies
like
“I don’t care”
“I don’t love you any more”
and I don’t even remember
what the fighting was for

Have you ever heard the ice
as it shrieks in the night
a shooting gliss as it shapes and forms
calling the approaching winter light
that’s where I keep you
frozen in my mind
and I don’t even remember
which one of us won the fight

"You can call me
I’ll be home around five"
that’s if I make it out
of these rusted hulls alive
I want to kiss and keep you
make your feelings not believe you
This time
So meet me in the garden
if you can look me in the eyes

A windswept graveyard
brown with winter time
searching for a grave
that might as well have been mine
that was our last day
before we cut the line
and I don’t even remember
whose grave we tried to find

You can call me
I’ll be home around five
that’s if I make it out
of these rusted hulls alive
I want to kiss and keep you
make your feelings not believe you
This time
So meet me in the garden
if you can look me in the eyes

Me and you
in the fighting time
