Garden - Emeli Sandé
I'm not telling you to love what I love
I'm asking you to take time to know
What it is that you love and love with
And do what you can not to offend your sensitive soul
You've seen things my lips can't confess
No pain can bear witness to
My mind can justify
My memory can wipe
Let me love let me touch let me love
Baby give it up let me drink from the fountain
In the car on the street in the dark
Baby on the beach in the back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
You're in the club how you dance how you touch
How you offer up all your love and devotion
Roll it up spark it up let it burn
On the balcony and we can fly to the ocean
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
You make it real make me feel make me feel
I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains
Talk is cheap can you rescue me
No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh
Once upon a time ago
I threw my cautions to the wind my friend
And yelled Geronimo
And rode the wings of love to outer space
But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo
Euphoria to torture
I left a note that had a rhyme it go
Love is like a Ferris wheel
Love is like a roller coaster
Love is at a standstill
Body after body after body
It's a landfill
And I just caught a body
In the lobby and got my hands filled
I'm a serial lover
I set up all the dates
That rang up fate and got my friends killed
I barely knew my dad sometimes I feel like my mother
I love that purple rain love
That have a fight that scratch my face
That f**k outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love
Love is like a garden love is like a death sentence
Love is like a pardon I'm free again and read
Once outside these prison walls to believe again is scary
Your garden is my sanctuary
Back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Yeah oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh I'm ready
Oooh ooh don't stop
Be my confidant my shoulder my diary my best friend
My mentor my lover my teacher
My preacher my one and ending my everything
From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon
From before until always I'm yours
So keep me safe within yourself
Bow to my throne no matter what and I will stand tall
