THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS
GAIL'S GARDENS
you remind me
of how foolish I've been
playing games
when I had no chance to win
giving up
with nothing to fall back on
going on
with everything gone
and I just keep repeating the same old song
cuz I want to find the one who is like me
who believes in unconditional love and trust
who makes it something we can feel and see
who shares it all for for all eternity
no time, no space, just the one and me
and you remind me
of how easily I believe
in strangers
and how easily I'm deceived
the dangers
of giving it all away
getting caught
in the traps of yesterday
and here I am again hanging on your line
and still you play the hook deep into me
who cares how much it hurts, the hurt is mine
it's all that's left of dreams and hopes you see
the music you hold on to is the key
to time and space and the one and me
why won't you let me go
why do you hold on
to all the things that matter
when you are long gone
why don't you give me back
the soundtrack of my life
instead of twisting and turning
why don't you remove the knife
tell me the truth
for once in your life
and you remind me
of how easily I believe
in sounds of love
and how easily I'm deceived
dreams I dream of
still will not fade away
though they're broken
in the lies of yesterday
and here I am again hanging on your hook
and still you play the innocent for me
who cares about the fragile things you took
it's all the trappings of humanity
the truth you hold on to is the key
to everything and the one and me
guess if you can't have me
you'd rather I die
guess if you're too afraid
to look me in the eye
and believe in the dream
you'd rather break it down
so you can believe it's impossible
and you can hide your frown
and you can go on playing the happy clown
you remind me
of how foolish I've been
playing games
when I had no chance to win
giving up
with nothing to fall back on
going on
with everything gone
and I just keep repeating the same old song
cuz I want to find the one who is like me
who believes in unconditional love and trust
who makes it something we can feel and see
who shares it all for for all eternity
no time, no space, just the one and me
and you remind me
of how easily I believe
in sounds of love
and how easily I'm deceived
dreams I dream of
still will not fade away
though they're broken
in the lies of yesterday
and here I am again hanging on your hook
and still you play the innocent for me
who cares about the fragile things you took
it's all the trappings of humanity
the truth you hold on to is the key
to everything and the one and me
why won't you let me go
why do you hold on
to all the things that matter
when you are long gone
why don't you give me back
the soundtrack of my life
instead of twisting and turning
why don't you remove the knife
tell me the truth
for once in your life
and here I am again hanging on your hook
and still you play the innocent for me
who cares about the precious things you took
it's all the proof of my humanity
the truth you hold on to is the key
to everything... and the one and me
The One and Me
