How The Garden Grows Lyrics - Singles - Michael Franks

Winter's hard to rhyme 

We're prisoners in some icy pantomime 

Just waiting for the wind to change his mind 

And sing us green 

April starts to whisper to the trees 

I hoe and you plant the trees 

Canterbury Bells begin to ring 

The sparrows are stealing string 

Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee 

Now life's a major key 

We've got mud between our toes 

This is how the garden grows 

Midnight in July 

We see the season spread across the sky 

We wake up to a nosy dragonfly 

Against the screen 

You just love to bite me where it shows 

You kiss me 

Then hide my clothes 

Running through the sprinklers nearly raw 

We've just disproved Newton's law 

How can I break even with the weeds 

In love so beyond my needs 

Blossoms on you Mama's rose 

This is how the garden grows
