Chorus The sun and the rain fell from up above, And landed on the earth below, in my garden of love.
Now there's a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met, A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget, A pine tree for the way I pined over you, And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true. And
[chorus]
Now there's a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date, A turnip for the way you always used to turn up late, Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come, So in their honour I have raised a nice Chris-and-the-mum. And
[chorus]
Now there's a beet root for the day you said that you'd beet root to me, A sweat pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me, But you had friends who needed you, there was Ferdi, there was Liza, So just for them I put down a load of Ferdi-Liza. And
[chorus]
But Gus the gardener's left now, and you went with him too, The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you. Now the rockery's a mockery, with weeds it's overgrown, The fuchsia's gone, I couldn' t face the fuchsia all alone. And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above, And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.
