about

I wrote this next song while my family and I was enjoying our yearly summer visit to St. George, Utah. The whole song was recorded and mixed using a laptop, a microphone and my small 'travel electric guitar'. The song was started at my parent's home in St. George one week with lyrics being written and instrumental guitar parts and drum track being added the next in Salt Lake City. Somewhere the phrase 'Midnight Garden' got stuck in my head and I imagined lovers meeting in an old, forgotten garden surrounded by wrought iron fences covered in overgrown vines.

lyrics

Oh I know
That you've grown weary of your heart
You feel alone
Like your life will just not start
You need a place
To let your banners fly unfurled
The time and space to slip beyond this cold, cruel world

Down the road
Out beyond the trees
Hides a midnight garden
Waiting just for you and me
Vine covered gates
Past the last street lamp's glare
Stand open welcoming
Will you meet me there?
Will you meet me there?

By design
Deaf and blind you had to be
But now you hear
And your open eyes now see
Solitude
Inner distance and closed doors
Does not offer
The same cold comfort any more

Come to me
When the bells have all tolled twelve
In our midnight garden
I will help you find yourself
As the wind rises around us
And rushes through the trees
I will fall into you
As you fall into me
As you fall into me...

And we'll stay
Until the dawn splits the night
And our midnight garden
Is filled with the morning”s light
And amidst the lilac blooms
Your lips they will find mine
And we'll leave our sunlit garden
With fingers intertwined
