I've Known the Garden

[Refrain]

One of these days, days, the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

One of these days, days the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I got the blues again

Mama say, "Tell me, did you see the end comin'?"

Now I'm searchin' for a sign

But lookin' back, there're only good times

Now I'm on the road again

My soul aches

It's clear that match won't work for me

And now the things don't seem so high

I know I gave him all the love I got

[Chorus]

Bye-bye roses

I got me a hand that's bittersweet, but I don't care

I've known the garden and I don't care

I've known the garden

Bye-bye roses

I got me a hand that's bittersweet, but no regrets

I've known the garden, no regrets

'Cause I've known the garden

[Refrain]

One of these days, days, the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

One of these days, days the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

[Verse 2]

She was always my best friend

Never late

Coffee ice cream made her smile

Now she's left and gone away

And I'm here by myself another day

I know I miss her to no end

My heart breaks

Tell me, did she did the end comin'?

At least I know it was sunny

All the time she spent with me

[Chorus]

Bye-bye roses

I got me a hand that's bittersweet, but I don't care

I've known the garden and I don't care

I've known the garden

Bye-bye roses

I got me a hand that's bittersweet, but no regrets (Bye-bye roses)

I've known the garden, no regrets

'Cause I've known the garden (Bye-bye roses)

[Refrain]

One of these days, days, the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

One of these days, days the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time now to show our love?

[Outro]

One of these days, days, the gig is up

Shouldn't we take the time, take the time?

One of these days, days, the gig is up (Bye-bye roses)

I got me a hand that's bittersweet, but I don't care

I've known the garden and I don't care
