About

In this song Joanna appears to be doing the hard work of forgiving someone for something and then trying to move on- i have a hunch that it may be herself, and that this song may be another ode to her miscarried child, which she sings about in Baby Birch as well, but it could just as easily be about...

’81 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found a little plot of land in the Garden of Eden
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands and I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim

[Verse 2]
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell, so I laid me by a spring
For a spell, as naked as a trout

[Verse 3]
The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more in my garden, start again
In my hardening to every heart but one

[Verse 4]
Meet me in the garden of Eden, bring a friend
We are going to have ourselves a time
We are gonna have a garden party, it's on me
No sirree, it's my dime

[Chorus 5]
We broke our hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both, in equal parts, are welcome to come along
I’m inviting everyone

[Verse 6]
Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none, in a garden
Seceded from the union in the year of A.D. 1?

[Verse 7]
The unending amends you've made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darlin', start again
I believe in everyone

[Outro]
I believe, regardless
I believe in everyone
