The sun and the rain fell from up above,
And landed on the earth below, in my garden
of love.
Now there's a rose for the way my spirits
rose when we met,
A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not
to forget,
A pine tree for the way I pined over you,
And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true.
And
The sun and the rain fell from up above,
And landed on the earth below, in my garden
of love.
Now there's a palm tree that we planted when
we had our first date,
A turnip for the way you always used to turn
up late,
Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often
used to come,
So in their honour I have raised a nice Chris-and-the-mum.
And
The sun and the rain fell from up above,
And landed on the earth below, in my garden
of love.
Now there's a beet root for the day you said
that you'd beet root to me,
A sweat pea for the sweet way you always smiled
at me,
But you had friends who needed you, there
was Ferdi, there was Liza,
So just for them I put down a load of Ferdi-Liza.
And
The sun and the rain fell from up above,
And landed on the earth below, in my garden
of love.
But Gus the gardener's left now, and you went
with him too,
The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus
is having with you.
Now the rockery's a mockery, with weeds it's
overgrown,
The fuchsia's gone, I couldn' t face the fuchsia
all alone.
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky
above,
And poisoned all the flowers in my garden
of love.
