Oh, you ran through the garden of Eden, and what did you see?
Was it thrilling, fulfilling, and all it was cracked up to be?
Oh, you left her alone after placing a ring on her hand
Oh, you ran through the garden of Eden, you're barred from this land
Now that woman you vowed to, she chased you out with a drum
And that love turned to anguish when all of her crying was done
And the ground broke beneath you, you lost everything that you know
Oh, you ran through the garden of Eden where no-one should go
If I could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day, but the garden of Eden took my love away
And you begged for forgiveness you cried until no tears were left
But that woman of wisdom had wished for you only the best
Now your beard overgrown and dishevelled, you're barely a man
Oh, you ran through the garden of Eden, run as fast as you can
If I could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day, but the garden of Eden took my love away
There's no pain in this garden, the sky it knows nothing but blue
But perfection is nothing when all she can think of is you
And you broke her to pieces, set fire to all that she built
Now you're left in the garden alone, with nothing but guilt
If I could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day, but the garden of Eden took my love away
If I could hold you for one more hour would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day, but the garden of Eden took my love away
But the garden of Eden took my love away
