As I crawl through your garden You stand and laugh You stand and laugh I tried to beg for your pardon You stand and laugh You stand and laugh It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die I tried to stand in your garden But you're too tall You're much too tall You win the hand, I throw my cards in You watched me fall You watched me fall It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die I tried to fly in your garden But you shot me down Mama you shot me down on the ground I watched the sky above me harden And your black gown your long back funeral gown It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die.
