Green Garden
Laura Mvula Lyrics


Take me outside, sit in a green garden,
Nobody out there, but it's okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, the money frame falls,
Take me outside, sit in a green garden

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree tall and down again
With my back down, taking my shoes off,
Walk on a carpet, of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
Dance in my garden like we used to

Take me outside, sit in a green garden,
Nobody out there, but it's okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, the money frame falls,
Take me outside, sit in a green garden

I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go

Take me outside, sit in a green garden
Take me outside, sit in a green garden

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree tall and down again.
Put my back down, taking my shoes off,
Walking a carpet of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
Dance in my garden like we used to

Take me outside, take me outside,
Take me outside, sit in a green garden

I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go

I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go

I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go

I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go,
Wherever you take me, I'll go

Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me outside, sit in the green garden,
Uh ah, uh ah uh,
Uh ah, uh ah uh

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
high as a tree top and down again
putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
walk in the carpet of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh
Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh

Take me outside, sit in the green garden
nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me outside, seat in the green garden

I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
highs of tree top and down again
putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
walk in the carpet of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
the dance.
Dance in my garden like we used to..
Uh ah, uh ah uh

Take me outside, take me outside,
take me outside, sit in the green garden.

I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go.

Music needs this woman! Young ears need to hear complex harmony, percussion, soul roots with a tribal heartbeat. This is something good.
