Lyrics

I have known the fruits of love
The wanton absolutes of love
Don’t fool me,

I’ve known sadness, heat, despair
I long for a place somewhere
To cool me
To soothe me

In the Gardens of Adonis, love survives
In the Gardens of Adonis, beauty thrives
Outside the garden wall a rose may bloom
A space in time, then die
But in the Gardens of Adonis
Time goes by

Beauty, treasured for the showing
Life is long, then short, then gone
Long before we’re even knowing
Who we are or where we’re going…

Sweet Adonis’ bitter ending
Sacrificed to gods , then gone
Those of us below attending
To our wounds no hope of mending

But In the Gardens of Adonis beauty thrives
In the Gardens of Adonis love survives
Outside the garden wall a rose may bloom,
Brief space in time, then die
But in the Gardens of Adonis
Time goes by
