"The Gardenkeeper Song"
Words and Music by Hair Knight
Appears on Pied Piper
The Gardenkeeper said there was a song for every mood.
And a mood for every song ever written.
There is a man for every woman and a boy for every girl.
And a lover for everyone ever smitten.
She said that if you show a person how you feel
That person will be by your side.
But she was wrong, for I have no-one and
No song describes just how I feel inside.
The Gardenkeeper said that if I plant a little seed,
Someday it would grow into a tree.
And that tree would feed the masses and there would be no more hunger.
And someday they would all sing of me.
She said that if I sow that seed then it would
Grow so high and mighty I would see.
But she was wrong for I have nothing
And the famished people always will be.
The Gardenkeeper said that if could be all I can
My life would be free from all sorrow.
Every problem would be solved and every man would lay down arms.
And we all could have some hope for a tomorrow.
She said that if I worked it hard enough then
Everyone would raise their hands in song.
But she was wrong, I've done my damndest but
The warring and the fighting still goes on.
The Gardenkeeper said there was a song for every mood.
And a mood for every song ever written.
There is a man for every woman and a boy for every girl.
And a lover for everyone ever smitten.
She said that if you show a person how you feel
That person will be by your side.
But I was stupid, she was cunning
And it's obvious the Gardenkeeper lied.
