Garden
Jervis Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find, some kind of serenade for you
The one I love, oh I do (oh I do)
But all, the words I could ever say
Will fall, short of your lovely ways
And I, just stand here so amazed by you
From the garden, to the shadows
Like a sharpened arrow
Oh you guide me, you send me through
Though I started so shallow
Deeper, you call me down
When it's hardest to follow
I'll remember, to hold up the crown
And how to handle your imminence
But bow beneath the extravagance
And still, you stand here with open arms
And it's you, you never let go of me
It's true, and the truth is what sets me free
And all, all my love is here
From the garden to the shadows
Every heartbeat belongs to you
Like a sharpened arrow
Oh you guide me, you send me through
Though I started so shallow
Deeper, you call me down
When it's hardest to follow
I'll remember to hold up the crown
From the garden to the shadows
Every heartbeat belongs to you
Like a sharpened arrow
Oh you guide me, you send me through
Though I started so shallow
Deeper, you call me down
When it's hardest to follow
I'll remember to hold up the crown

Well, my heart beckons me again
My heart is urging me to find a way to express the love I have for you
To find, some kind of serenade for you
To find a special something to show how much you mean to me
The one I love, oh I do (oh I do)
I truly love you, without a doubt
But all, the words I could ever say
Even if I say everything I possibly can
Will fall, short of your lovely ways
It still wouldn't be enough to describe how wonderful you are
And I, just stand here so amazed by you
I just stand here, completely in awe of you
From the garden, to the shadows
From the brightest moments to the darkest ones
Every heartbeat belongs to you
My heart beats only for you
Like a sharpened arrow
You guide me with precision
Oh you guide me, you send me through
You guide and direct me through life
Though I started so shallow
Even when I was lost and unsure
Deeper, you call me down
You call me to go deeper and find meaning in life
When it's hardest to follow
Even when it's difficult to do so
I'll remember, to hold up the crown
I'll remember to stand tall and be proud of our love
And how to handle your imminence
I know how to deal with your presence and how much it means to me
But bow beneath the extravagance
I'm still amazed and humbled by your beauty and greatness
And still, you stand here with open arms
And yet you continue to be here for me, unconditionally
And it's you, you never let go of me
It's all because of you that I always feel loved and supported
It's true, and the truth is what sets me free
Knowing the truth about your love for me is what gives me the ultimate sense of freedom
And all, all my love is here
All the love I have for you is right here, in my heart
