An English Garden

Lyrics for An English Garden

In the garden by the wall Something moved and someone called Why is it hollow beneath the stones? Why is Mother crying, on her own? An english garden in the rain Somenthing hidden, and something strange Don't go walking in the woods Yes Father dear, you're understood An english garden in the rain Someone whispered my name Victoria sits upon her throne And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome Why can't we in the garden play? The servants stare then look away Why has the hall clock suddenly stopped? Why are the French windows always locked? An english garden in the rain Somenthing hidden, and something strange Don't go walking in the woods Yes Father dear, you're understood An english garden in the rain Someone whispered my name Victoria sits upon her throne And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome Why was the governess sent away? Why won't any of the servants stay? Is that thunder overhead? And who's that standing by my bed? An english garden in the rain Somenthing hidden, and something strange Don't go walking in the woods Yes Father dear, you're understood An english garden in the rain Someone whispered my name Victoria squats upon her throne And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome
