Testo Secret Gardens - Shawn Colvin
Testo della canzone Secret Gardens (Shawn Colvin), tratta dall'album Born To The Breed: A Tribute To Judy Collins
My grandmother's house is still there
But it isn't the same
A plain wooden cottage
A patch of brown lawn
And a fence that hangs bending and sighing
In the Seattle rain
I drive past the strangers
And wish they could see what I see
A tangle of summer birds
Flying in sunlight
A forest of lilies
An orchard of apricot trees
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
Great-grandfather's house is still there
But it isn't the same
The barn is torn down
And the fences are gone
The Idaho wind blows the topsoil away
Every spring
I still see the ghosts of the people
I knew long ago
Inside the old kitchen
They bend and they sigh
My life passed them up
And the world in its sway passed them by
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the old stay young forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
But most of all it is me
Who has changed but I'm still the same
That's me at the weddings
That's me at the graves
Dressed like the people
Who once looked so grown up and brave
I look in the mirror
Through the eyes of the child that was me
And I see willows bending
The season is spring
The silver blue sailing birds
Fly with the sun on their wings
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the dreams live on forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
