The Garden Rules Songtext
There's the river there's your house and there's the church
There is us years ago
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
That's what you always said

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you

You would call the garden rules out like commands
And we would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
And puncture the pretend?
Then we would chase our tails?
Until the sun forgot to shine?
And our parents called our names
?'Til just you and I were left
??
Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you

??From your house we walk the river?
To the church by the silent fields
?Amongst the lavender and headstones
?And the larks in our Sunday clothes
?Your father calls to you?
As he's looking at his watch?
You leave me with a kiss?
On my quickly heating cheek

??Oh you'll never know how much I love you so?
Oh you will never know how much I love you
