Well now the rain washed back yesterday bringing thoughts of wasted time And the water it brought flowed swiftly through your mind Opening your eyes to the stars just to pray Hoping more rain will wash your garden away But your flowers just bloom Ever bright ever proud Screaming I hate you so loud Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow To what grows in your garden now Oh, in your garden now Oh, yes, the weeds of consequence they get more day by day Of decisions you could have better made Paper flowers they sparkle by an old tree butt Just remember even paper flowers cut Your garden shakes with the wind But it will not fall down Scattering seeds all around Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow To what grows in your garden now In your garden now, yeah Somewhere on the landscape lies a place next to your heart But the grass grows wide and even And soon that too will be torn apart Your garden shakes with the wind But it will not fall down Scattering seeds all around Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow To what grows in your garden now
