How The Garden Grows Lyrics by Michael Franks
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Winter's hard to rhymeWe're prisoners in some icy pantomimeJust waiting for the wind to change his mindAnd sing us greenApril starts to whisper to the treesI hoe and you plant the treesCanterbury Bells begin to ringThe sparrows are stealing stringHollycocks and foxglove to the kneeNow life's a major keyWe've got mud between our toesThis is how the garden growsMidnight in JulyWe see the season spread across the skyWe wake up to a nosy dragonflyAgainst the screenYou just love to bite me where it showsYou kiss meThen hide my clothesRunning through the sprinklers nearly rawWe've just disproved Newton's lawHow can I break even with the weedsIn love so beyond my needsBlossoms on you Mama's roseThis is how the garden grows
