English Garden

[Verse 1: Daniel Johns]

Here we sit in tombstones in the mud

Like it's where we want to be

It's impossible to feel sacred in this lie

And they sell your fantasy

[Chorus: Daniel Johns]

Now that the day is done

I can see colors at night on everyone

Sands of the modern tide

Kept my head up, sunshine

Today will be fine

And I'll be trying my heart out

[Verse 2: Daniel Johns]

Lazy ways, claustrophobic holidays

When we all have funny plans

To fade this parade

Like some temporary skin

Is a feat that changes hands

[Chorus: Daniel Johns]

Now that the day is done

I can see colors at night on everyone

Sands of the modern tide

Kept my head up, Sunshine

Today will be fine

And I'll be trying my heart out

[Interlude: Judith Durham]

If this street's air ain't up to par

I'll take my clothes

And take this strange behavior

Not only liked

But loved as well

And if this keeps tearing me apart

The walls come down

Won't stop this empty feeling

For everything apart from this

[Bridge: Daniel Johns]

It's only been a year

English garden

And you're farther away

It's only been a week

Dangerous mountain

Sighed for more than a day

I've been climbing out the hole

Fish line cables

Traveling alone out in air

It's only been a year

Got me wondering'

Ah, for sure or for sale

It's only been a year

And I'm ever caught

As soon as I escape

For sure or for sale

[Outro]

Ooh, ah

Ooh, ah
