THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS
GAIL'S GARDENS
when you dare to give everything
maybe you'll understand
but as long as you pretend
you'll make hell of wonderland
so you kept all I gave you
and you took even more
helped me set this trap for myself
then helped me slam the door
and you swallowed the key
and you smiled far away
so I started with nothing
and here I am today
building a garden
from your barren soil
nobody knows ground I've covered
nobody knows how hard I toil
it all looks so easy
who could understand
the kind of journey I've travelled
nobody could have planned
there are places inside of me
that are still out of reach
there are things I've created
I can not show you today
some are locked in storage
some are lost at sea
and this is the garden
what is left to be
what is left of me
when you dare to give everything
maybe you'll understand
but as long as you pretend
you'll make hell of wonderland
like the tip of an iceberg
floating precariously
a few parts of me surface here
for all the world to see
and the rest still remains buried
maybe for posterity
you're the only one who knows more
of me
whatever will be
when you dare to give everything
maybe you'll understand
that when you no longer pretend
you will find your wonderland
Wonderland
