The Long Yard Home lyrics - track 04

The Swing at the end of the Garden

The swing at the end of the garden - Rocks in the summer breeze
Pretending your swaying to the motion - Pretending you’ll never leave
Birds chase invisible flies - High above the apple tree - The lights on in the porch
Pretending you’d never leave

Still you left today - On this beautiful sunlit day - Still you went away
Not a cloud to spoil the day - And you left today - On this beautiful
Sun lit day and you went away - Not a cloud to spoil the day

The apple blossom falls - Floats on the summer breeze - Falling to the ground like tears
Maybe it knew you’d leave - The grass seems a bit too long - The flower beds just overgrown - All seem a little sad - Maybe they knew you’d leave
And you left today - On this beautiful sun lit day - And you went away
Not a cloud to spoil the day

The swing at the end of the garden - Rocks in the summer breeze
Pretending your swaying to the motion - Pretending you’d never leave
Birds chase invisible flies - High above the apple tree
The lights on in the porch - Pretending you’d never leave
The lights on in the porch - Thinking you’d never leave - Yes the lights on in the porch
Pretending you’d never leave
