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
As I laid me by the 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 part
Are welcome to come along

Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me. What is meant but sin, or none
In a garden
Seceded from the union
In the year of A.D. 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
