In The Garden
Van Morrison Lyrics

The streets are always wet with rain
It is raining constantly, and the streets are always slick with water.

After a summer shower when I saw you standin'
As the rain stopped, I saw you standing in the garden.

In the garden in the garden wet with rain
We were together in the garden, which was wet from the rain.

You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
In a moment of sadness, you wiped away your tears.

As we watched the petals fall down to the ground
We saw flower petals fall to the earth.

And as I sat beside you I felt the Great sadness that day in the garden
Sitting next to you, I felt a profound sense of grief in the garden that day.

And then one day you came back home
At some point, you returned to our shared home.

You were a creature all in rapture
You were enamored with something and completely lost in either emotion, thought or visions.

You had the key to your soul
You had a strong understanding of your inner self.

And you did open that day you came back to the garden
On the day you returned to the garden, you unlocked something within yourself.

The olden summer breeze was blowin' on your face
The warm summer wind was blowing against your skin.

The light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine
You looked divine, with a divine light shining upon you from God.

And you were a violet color as you Sat beside your father and your mother in the garden
As you sat next to your parents in the garden, you had a violet aura of peace surrounding you.

Within your violet you treasure your summery words
You held onto your words from the summer in your violet aura.

And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden
Feeling a shiver down my spine, the beauty of the garden and the daylight enlivened me.

And you went into a trance
You went into a trance-like state.

Your childlike vision became so fine
Your vision became more clear and childlike.

And we heard the bells inside the church We loved so much
We heard the bells from a beloved church.

And felt the presence of the youth of Eternal summers in the garden
We felt the youthful spirit of eternal summers in the garden.

And as it touched your cheeks so lightly Born again you were and blushed
As something touched your cheeks, you blushed and felt renewed.

And we touched each other lightly
We touched each other gently.

And we felt the presence of the Christ Within in our hearts In the garden
We felt the spirit of Christ within us while in the garden.

And I turned to you and I said No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the father in the garden
I told you that we did not need a guru or teacher, just ourselves and the beauty of nature and the Divine in the garden.

No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost In the garden, wet with rain
Again, I repeated that we did not require a teacher or guru, just ourselves, nature, and the Holy Trinity in the garden, even in the rain.

No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature and the Father And the Son and the Holy Ghost In the garden, in the garden, wet with rain
Once more, I emphasized that we did not need anyone else but ourselves, nature, and the Holy Trinity in the garden, even in the rain.
