[Verse 1]
Here I am, a black-eyed bird remaining silent
I simply watch your little life from high above
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul
I dig my grave behind the gates of Babylon
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
[Verse 2]
Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden
I'm beckoning but you ignore my siren song
Oh I long to touch you
To step inside your sacred gate
I'll dig my grave in the mine of golden bible snake
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
[Bridge]
The black-eyed bird is dying
The queen is dead
She'll never step foot in Eden (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Garden, Eden, Eden
Garden, Eden, Eden
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
Here I am, a black-eyed bird remaining silent
I simply watch your little life from high above
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul
I dig my grave behind the gates of Babylon
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
[Verse 2]
Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden
I'm beckoning but you ignore my siren song
Oh I long to touch you
To step inside your sacred gate
I'll dig my grave in the mine of golden bible snake
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
[Bridge]
The black-eyed bird is dying
The queen is dead
She'll never step foot in Eden (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Garden, Eden, Eden
Garden, Eden, Eden
[Chorus]
There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
Garden of Eden
In your distant heart
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms
