In the Garden
Nights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once children's laughter was the only sound
No worries troubles were few
Once in garden where innocence rang pure and true
Once on a hilltop beneath the old tree
Swings made of tires made us feel so free
Once on a hilltop I still see us right there
Hours of make believe playing in the sun
Dreaming with wonder, "What would we become?"
Hours of make believe playing in the sun
Dreaming with wonder, "What would we become?"
My best friend cold in my hand
We'd run by the sea through castles of sand
Once in a forest just like Robin Hood
Flowers were our playmates we only saw good
In everything be it right or wrong
Once in a garden I still can hear our song
Can you hear our song?
Can you hear our song?
The lyrics to Nights' "In the Garden" evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for a past that can never be reclaimed. The song speaks to the memories of a garden, a hilltop, and a forest where the singer experienced the pure joys of childhood innocence. In the opening verse, the garden is described as a place where dreams could be found and children's laughter was the only sound, free from worries and troubles. The second verse takes us to a hilltop, where tire swings made the children feel so free and the butterflies kissed their hair. The chorus repeats the line, "Once in a garden," emphasizing the fleeting nature of these idyllic moments.
