The Garden Gate
Lyrics
Verse 1
Sunlight paints a golden line
Across the kitchen floor of pine
It’s a quiet way to spend the day
While the rest of the world
(just drifts away)
Verse 2
Come on brother, take a seat
Rest your shoes and tired feet
We’ve got a song we’d like to share
About the kindness in the air
Chorus
Sitting by the garden gate
No need to hurry, no need to wait
Watching the flowers grow
For somewhere else to go
The door is open wide
(On the porch outside.)
Bridge
Yesterday was a heavy road
But today we’ve dropped the load
Can you hear the music play?
In every word we say...
Verse 3
The evening sky is turning blue
I’ll pour a glass for me and you
Watching the birds fly to the nest
And give the weary mind a rest
Chorus
Sitting by the garden gate
No need to hurry, no need to wait
Watching the flowers grow
For somewhere else to go
The door is open wide
(On the porch outside.)
Outro
Just a simple song for a simple life
Away from the noise and the strife
Hand in hand
(as the day turns to gold)
With a story that never grows old
