Tom Paxton wrote this song for the first Earth Day in 1970, releasing it that year. It’s a song from the perspective of someone living after environmental destruction
Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose river was this? You say it ran freely
Blue was its color, I've seen blue in some pictures
And I'd love to have been there
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose gray sky was this? Or was it a blue one?
At night there were breezes, I've heard records of breezes
And I'd love to have felt one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose Garden Was This was written by Tom Paxton.
