The Garden Duet Lyrics

[Chorus]
I will go with you to your garden
I will go with you to your orchard
I will go with you to your apple tree
And there we will plant his sweet honey seed
And I will plant my honey seed
And he will hide me in a golden cloud
And I will hide her in a golden cloud
And we will hide there
We will hide there
In a golden cloud

[Verse 1]
He comes calling in the night
And walks a trembling kitten in my lap
And walks through the orchard under a pink, pink moon
And shakes down the dew and fruit
He is the one, the lover and the love
I will open up my legs for him
He will ring the bells in the temple of the Lord

[Chorus]
I will go with you to your garden
I will go with you to your orchard, sweetheart
I will go with you to your apple tree
And there we will plant his sweet honey seed
And I will plant my honey seed
And he will lay me in a golden cloud
And I will hide her in a golden cloud
We will hide there
We will hide there
In a golden cloud

[Verse 2]
I will stroke her straight black hair
And he will heal me through the laying of his hands
For she is the gold cross to my heart
And he is the honeyman of my soul
He will fire the trembling kitten in my lap
She is God, she is the desire of ages
He will ring the bell in the temple of the Lord

[Chorus]
I will go with you to your garden
I will go with you to your orchard, baby
I will go with you to your apple tree
And there we will plant his sweet honey seed
I will plant her honey seed
And he will hide me in a golden cloud
And I will hide her in a golden cloud
We will hide there
We will hide there
In a golden cloud

[Verse 3]
He buys me pretty pettycoats from town
He loves me on heaps of heavy gold
He calls me from way across the sea
And smooths my black boat with cream

[Chorus]
I will lay with you in your garden
I will lay with you in your orchard, sweatheart
I will lay my life and sail across the sea
A hundred a singing mermaids with their fingers full of pearls
Will love him as he makes his way to me
She will answer all of my prayers
And he will answer all of my prayers
And we will hide there
And we will hide there
In the sanctuary of our prayers

I will go with you to your garden
I will go with you to your orchard
I will go with you to your apple tree
I will go with you to your peach tree
I will go with you to your lemon tree
I will go with you to your orange tree
I will go with you to your cherry tree
I will go with you to your orchard
