In the bright red sky In the heat of an evening When only prisoners sleep She said, she couldn't Come to the garden See an old man weep
She said, her dreams What too far to be thought of As scars too wide to view She said, she couldn't Come to the garden See a blind man kneel
She sailed away To a blue horizon In floating thoughts she'd sway She said, she couldn't Come to the garden See an old man pray
She wished them luck As they left on their journey Maybe she'd join them soon But she lost her grip At the tip of life's finger Went home and worshiped the moon
