[Verse 1]
I will sail to the far shore
And I will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair
And I will turn the soil with my hands
And I will make my home there
[Chorus]
My garden will grow so high
My garden will grow so high
That I will be completely hidden
[Verse 2]
I will go where I will go
And I will jettison all dead weight
And I will use these words for kindling
And I will sleep by the garden gate
[Chorus]
My garden will grow so high
My garden will grow so high
That I will be completely hidden

I’m pretty certain that this is a song about the, uh, the need for isolation and the possibility of, uh, finding something in there that, uh, you didn’t know you needed. (2012-06-30 – McCabe’s Guitar Shop – Santa Monica, CA)
