[Emeli Sandé, Áine Zion, Jay Electronica - Garden lyrics]
I'm not telling you to love what I
Love i'm asking you to take time
To know what it is that you love
And are in love with and
Do what you can not to
Offend this sensitive soul
Who has seen things no
Lips can't confess, no pain can bear
Witness to, no mind can justify
No memory can wipe
Let me love, let me touch, let me love
Baby, give it up
Let me drink from the fountain
In the car, on the street, in the dark
Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
You're in the club, how you dance
How you touch
How you offer up all your love and devotion
Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn
On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
You make it real, make me feel, make me feel
I'm as strong as steel and
As tall as the mountains
Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?
No place I'd rather be than
The back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, catch up
Once upon a time ago
I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend
And yelled, "Geronimo!"
And rode the wings of love to outer space
But then I fell a
Thousand miles to Guantanamo
Euphoria to torture
I left a note that had a rhyme, it go:
Love is like a ferris wheel
Love is like a roller coaster
Love is at a standstill
Body after body after body it's a landfill
And I just caught a body
In the lobby and got my hands filled
I'm a serial lover i set up all the dates
That rang up fate and got my friends killed
I barely knew my dad
Sometimes I feel like my mother
I love that Purple Rain love
That have a fight, that scratch my face
That fuck outside and ride my
Motorcycle in the rain love
Love is like a garden
Love is like a death sentence
Love is like a pardon
I'm free again and ready
Once outside these prison walls
To believe again is scary
Your garden is my sanctuary
Back of the garden oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Oooh ooh, don't stop oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Yeah oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Oooh ooh, don't stop oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary
My best friend, my mentor
My lover, my teacher, my preacher
My one and only
My everything from the beam of
The sun to the dim of the moon
From before until always I'm yours
So keep me safe within yourself bow
To my throne, no matter what
And I will stand tall
Love i'm asking you to take time
To know what it is that you love
And are in love with and
Do what you can not to
Offend this sensitive soul
Who has seen things no
Lips can't confess, no pain can bear
Witness to, no mind can justify
No memory can wipe
Let me love, let me touch, let me love
Baby, give it up
Let me drink from the fountain
In the car, on the street, in the dark
Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
You're in the club, how you dance
How you touch
How you offer up all your love and devotion
Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn
On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
You make it real, make me feel, make me feel
I'm as strong as steel and
As tall as the mountains
Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?
No place I'd rather be than

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, don't stop
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready oooh ooh, catch up
