Volbeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ripped all the flowers in the garden
Oh baby come home
You angels, bring her home
Imens står solen over højen
Han mindes den sommer hvor hun strålede
Forsvandt I haven grøn, og træernes sang hun fandt
Time keeps painting my darling
And the garden keeps on singing the old song
Oh baby still I am waiting in the light
Hoping the angels would carry you home
Den sang tog mørket I sin pote
Den bar hans kvinde I dens kolde favn
Og lagde hende for hans dør I silkekjole
Hoping the angels would carry her home
Leaving it all with my only friend?
Her beauty was lifeless on the stair
Oh baby I'll carry you away into the garden's tale
But everything died and turned to stones
I laid her down under the old oak
Seeing it all blossom forever more
Time keeps painting my darling
And the garden keeps on singing the old song
Oh baby now I know you're in the light
Painting it all with my colorful songs
Imens står solen over højen
Hans skygge kastes you'd I haven grøn
Forsvandt for evigt og uden en note
Hoping the angels will carry her home
Leaving it all with my only friend
Her beauty was lifeless on the stair
Oh baby I'll carry you away into the garden's tale
But everything died and turned to stones
I laid her down under the old oak
Seeing it all blossom forever more oh oh
Oh oh oh
Time keeps painting my darling
Ripped all the flowers in the garden
Oh baby you're home
You angels, where are you?
The Garden's Tale by Volbeat is a poignant song about loss, death, and hope. The lyrics tell a story of a man who lost his beloved, portrayed as a beautiful flower in a garden. Time is a recurring theme in the song, indicating that despite the passing of time, the pain and memory of the loss still linger. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, pain, and despair, and the singer pleads with the angels to bring back his beloved.
The first verse shows a man who is missing his beloved and longing for her return. The use of the metaphor of ripped flowers in the garden symbolizes the pain of losing someone dear. The second verse talks about how the man remembers the summer days when his lover shone in the sun. The line "And the garden keeps on singing the old song" shows that while everything else may change, the memory of his beloved remains, and the love song of the garden continues.
The chorus is a plea to the angels to bring her back home. The use of the word "baby" shows that there was a close bond between the couple. The verses continue describing his despair and how he lays his lover under an oak tree. The final chorus has a more hopeful tone, and the singer imagines his lover living on through his songs and the beauty of the garden.

After all these years ... still gives me chills. There's very few voices, on very few songs, that hit me smack bang in the solar plexus. Michael Poulsen and this song = body chills and a swift kick right in the feels...💖
