Joanna Newsom - '81 lyrics
[Joanna Newsom - '81 lyrics]
I found a little plot of land
In the Garden of Eden
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands and
I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell
So I laid me by a spring
For a spell, as naked as a trout
The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But, I will want for nothing
More in my garden, start again
In my hardening to every heart but one
Meet me in the garden of Eden, bring a friend
We are going to have ourselves a time
We are gonna have a garden party, it's on me
No sirree, it's my dime
We broke our hearts in the war between
St george and the dragon
But both, in equal parts
Are welcome to come along
I’m inviting everyone
Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none
In a garden
Seceded from the union in the year of AD 1?
The unending amends you've made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darlin'
Start again i believe in everyone
I believe, regardless i believe in everyone
In the Garden of Eden
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands and
I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell
So I laid me by a spring
For a spell, as naked as a trout
The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But, I will want for nothing
More in my garden, start again
In my hardening to every heart but one
Meet me in the garden of Eden, bring a friend
We are going to have ourselves a time
We are gonna have a garden party, it's on me
No sirree, it's my dime
We broke our hearts in the war between
St george and the dragon
But both, in equal parts
Are welcome to come along
I’m inviting everyone
Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none
In a garden
Seceded from the union in the year of AD 1?
The unending amends you've made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darlin'
Start again i believe in everyone
I believe, regardless i believe in everyone
