The Garden Walls

I just want flowers,
Tulips would be nice.
But you can't back off that power
That's holding you in a vice.

You say the walls will fall,
But, Baby, I can't be the one
You trust to make that call.

Your walls are rooted and strong,
She cut you deeply, wounds open.
Your heart really did care all along,
But you can't let the walls out of the garden.

There are walls in the garden where they shouldn't be;
They hinder growth and leave nothing happy.

Pack more on to it
Saying you're saving it for a rainy day.
Well, these flowers need the rain and the sunshine;
Don't let the garden slip away.
