[Verse 1]
I had a friend who spoke of fate and he
Knew of another place in space and time
He told of how me and my lady
Could look but we would never find
Said if you please, I beg your pardon
Sometimes the things you see, they just ain't so
Your life can be an avant garden
'Cause loves what makes your garden grow

[Chorus 1]
The sun leads the way (Sun leads the way), the moon lights the sky (Moon lights the sky)
I see you and I lying in my avant garden
I dream of the day (Dream of the day) when our worlds collide (Our worlds collide)
We won't be denied here inside our avant garden

[Verse 2]
Sometimes my life ain't what it seemin'
Right from the start, it's what your heart's believin'
Could all this just be lucid dreamin'?
But dreams just ain't enough for me

[Chorus 1]
The sun leads the way (Sun leads the way), the moon lights the sky (Moon lights the sky)
I see you and I lying in my avant garden
I dream of the day (Dream of the day) when our worlds collide (Our worlds collide)
We won't be denied here inside our avant garden

[Verse 3]
You know it just ain't right to deal with other's shite
No one should ever be so broken hearted
Don't ever be afraid 'cause when you got it made
Yeah, you don't even have to try

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
So I'll be waitin' in your garden
Watching all your flowers grow

[Chorus 1]
The sun leads the way (Sun leads the way), the moon lights the sky (Moon lights the sky)
I see you and I lying in my avant garden
I dream of the day (Dream of the day) when our worlds collide (Our worlds collide)
You'll know we've arrived here inside our avant garden
Yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2]
The sun brings the rain (Sun brings the rain) the moon needs the sky (Moons needs the sky)
I see you and I lyin' in my avant garden
Beware of the lies, a word to the wise
There's sweet cherry pies and truth inside our avant garden

[Instrumental Outro]

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
