In The Garden
Royal Wood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh we must be alive I see our breath
And I am reassured by our breath
For it was years ago when we met in the garden
I see our breath…I see our breath

Oh we must be and so follow our breath
Into the universe follow our breath
Well oh it keeps me warm
Well oh it keeps me warm

No matter what shall pass
I’ll feel our breath
The splitting of our paths
I’ll feel our breath
Well oh it keeps me warm
Well oh it keeps me warm

As our feet have left a mark where we met in the garden
I’ll feel our breath




I’ll see our breath in the garden
I’ll feel us

This is awesome! Being Human is how I found Royal Wood in the first place. I loved the way they used Juliet at the end of Season one . It just fit the scene.

If John Lennon was still alive then this is what he would probably sound like.
