Garden

[Intro: Áine Zion]

I'm not telling you to love what I love. I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and are in love with. And do what you can not to offend this sensitive soul, who has seen things no lips can't confess, no pain can bear witness to, no mind can justify, no memory can wipe

[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]

Let me love, let me touch, let me love

Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain

In the car, on the street, in the dark

Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]

You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch

How you offer up all your love and devotion

Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn

On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]

You make it real, make me feel, make me feel

I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains

Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?

No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, catch up

[Verse 4: Jay Electronica]

Once upon a time ago

I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend

And yelled, "Geronimo!"

And rode the wings of love to outer space

But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo

Euphoria to torture

I left a note that had a rhyme, it go:

Love is like a ferris wheel

Love is like a roller coaster

Love is at a standstill

Body after body after body

It's a landfill

And I just caught a body

In the lobby and got my hands filled

I'm a serial lover

I set up all the dates

That rang up fate and got my friends killed

I barely knew my dad, sometimes I feel like my mother

I love that Purple Rain love

That have a fight, that scratch my face

That fuck outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love

Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence

Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and ready

Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary

Your garden is my sanctuary

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]

Back of the garden

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Yeah oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop

[Outro: Áine Zion]

Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary, my best friend, my mentor, my lover, my teacher, my preacher, my one and only, my everything. From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon. From before until always I'm yours. So keep me safe within yourself. Bow to my throne, no matter what, and I will stand tall
