lyrics

water the garden
water the garden
feed every plant
water the garden
water the garden
frown when they die

build my house on a hill
far away from the black smoke
safe from most of the warmth

those who died first
had behaved the worst
I paid my tax
but they didn’t recycle their glass

the ash and dust are rising
swallowing the hills
breathing down my neck
but while I’m here I’ll just

water the garden
water the garden
feed every plant
water the garden
water the garden
frown when they die

I’ll get them to build my house on a hill
far away from my mine’s fires
safe from the heat-flattened ground

those who died first
went up in flames
flesh fell from bone
the air up here is fresh and clean

the ash and dust are rising
swallowing the hills
breathing down my neck
but while I’m here I’ll just

water the garden
water the garden
cry when things die
