This is a hymn to the love and the pain folded into our deepest relationships. When we truly know someone, no matter what changes in our lives, we can still meet each other in the metaphorical garden of our love and shared history. It’s sacred, neutral ground, beyond the roles we play. In this song we’re slipping away, lured by a search for belonging and the call of the unknown. We only know it’s time to go, and yet the love remains. Fundamentally, this song is about forgiving, accepting change, and letting the love that has gone before resound into our unfolding relationships.
lyrics
darling, tell me true
how much can I ask of you?
I know you feel it too
coming down
those words we love to say
easy on a sunny day
but now you turn away
and turn me out
meet me in the garden
midnight at the fountain
I’m leaving in the morning
going up the mountain
older than the winter
buried like a splinter
only love can win
only love
that question never sleeps
every night it comes for me
singing at my balcony,
calling out
my name in water song
melodies a river long
says it knows where I belong,
If I come down…
meet me in the garden
midnight at the fountain
I’m leaving in the morning
going up the mountain
older than the winter
buried like a splinter
only love can win
only love
