    Iris' Garden On a hot steamy night under the stars Between rows of corn and okra and chard She gave her love despite that she’d been warned She clung like a vine and reached for his kiss He disappeared like a ghost in the mist Some days she’d wonder did he ever exist Iris, oh Iris how does your garden grow Dry stalks hiss in the breeze It’s dying by degrees Iris, oh Iris how your garden moans Back to nature it goes Erasing all you have sown Down in a valley near hidden from view A garden sadly no longer renewed Only the wind ever passes on through Its mistress lay down on a full moon night Only an outline was left by day light Nothing to see, no scent, no long goodbye Iris, oh Iris how does your garden grow Dry stalks hiss in the breeze It’s dying by degrees Iris, oh Iris how your garden moans Back to nature it goes Erasing all you have sown Iris, oh Iris your garden’s made of stone
