The Gardener Lyrics

I sense a runner in the garden
Although my judgements known to fail
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

I know the runner's going to tell you
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
So now he's buried by the daisies
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return

I know the spy is going to tell you
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call

I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't no puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe

So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine
I find it soothing I'm afraid

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a garner I'm a man
In your eyes babe
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe

What is the Meaning of The Gardener?

In this hauntingly poetic narrative, the protagonist grapples with his insecurities and deceit to maintain an idealized image in his lover's eyes. 🌹 Each verse metaphorically buries threats—whether a runner, spy, or leak—symbolizing the lengths he goes to conceal his flaws and past misdeeds. His garden becomes a sanctuary of carefully curated truths, where he eliminates anything that might tarnish his facade. Ultimately, the song delves into themes of self-deception and the moral complexities of love, revealing a man who finds solace in controlling perceptions even as he faces inevitable decay. 🌿 #LoveAndDeceit #SelfPerception #PoeticNarrative #EmotionalComplexity
