A Garden

There are different ways to read the stars,
those that are near and those that are far
Watch them shoot across the sky,
I wonder where you are
I didn’t smoke, I didn’t drink,
but darkness carries you down a dusty road
Broken wheels, misplaced hope,
a heavy load to carry

The stars are blinking lives once true
once we were all brand new
And oh how our garden grew

Pull a card from a deck
Chips are down I place my bet
On a second chance, a third with you
Remind me what we once knew
Oh how our garden grew

It’s dark now, what will the stars tell
I’ll make a wish, wish you well
Clear skys, a pure heart, a light in the dark

The stars are blinking lives once true
Remind me what we once knew
Oh how our garden grew
When we were all brand new
