Gang of Youths – Tend the garden Lyrics

Artist: Gang of Youths
Song: Tend the garden

I was young, it was the 60s you see
I never wanted to be the chief of anything
So it was singing in the church for me
Behind the organ was as close as i’d ever be

There was a woman that i knew before
She was in auckland, she was spoken for
My hair was short my skin was brown
I did construction work from town to town

There were things we did and should not have done
Been half a century since i seen my sons
Lord knows if they would ever forgive me
I won’t forgive myself at least

There are strange forces
In the air only time can unleash
In a way i still believe
I fell in love, it was the 90s you see

I met a woman across the tasman in ‘83
And we settled down and raised a couple kids
But i couldn’t bring myself to tell ’em what i did
I hope that one day if they find my sons

They’ll tell ’em everything that i’ve become
And i will hold it ‘til my dying breath
When i tend garden i will think of them
But my youngest kid, he can’t shut his mouth

I guess it won’t be long ‘til the truth is out
Lord knows if they would ever forgive me
I won’t forgive myself at least
There are strange forces

In the air only time can unleash
In a way i still believe
In the instance of pain
I look straight down at the iris

If the irises fade
I spend days out in the yard
In the absence of rain
I take a seat down at the organ

And i play
Lord i play
Ah!
