Garden of Love by Aqualung

In the garden of love I saw

A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet

In the garden of love I saw
Starlight sigh and shadow move
Faltering, no faltering
Faltering
Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go
In our garden of love we grew
Roses so red our hearts were busted open
All feeding on the dream we made
The bright and beautiful parade
That bloom by bloom began to fade
And blow by blow, oh


Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go
How we tried to make everything right
How we fought and we talked through the night
How we nearly
Made it
In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet

Stepping out into the light
Other side of the window
Blinking and blind in the light
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
That journey is over
Over
Over
There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
And you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing
So we pushed and we pulled with our nerves of steel
You had the pedals and I had the wheel
And the terrible misillusions
We never knew where we were going

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing

The origin of the name :)

This is kind of exciting. I've tried to keep blogs before, but they've always been about my life, which is, quite frankly, really boring. I just couldn't keep on top of them. With this though, I'm planning on putting in something I love dearly: Quotes. I have a huge collection of them in a little book that I am planning on handing down to my grandchildren. I think I am also going to add in the occasional, or frequent, song because of it's lyrics. I'm going to add a song to this first post, because it is the origin of the name to this blog. It's my favourite song, called Strange & Beautiful by Aqualung. It's quite amazing, about unrequited love and wishing that the person knew and wanting to put a spell on them to make them feel the same way. It's really sweet :)

I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen

To me, you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me
But you just can't see
You turn every head but you don't see me

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
I'll put a spell on you
And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me

Yeah, yeah

Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first
Sometimes the first thing you want never comes
I know that waiting is all you can do, sometimes

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
I'll put a spell on you
And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
I'll put a spell on you
And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
