AN ENGLISH GARDEN

Sol Invictus / Wakeford

In the garden by the wall
Something moved, someone called
Why is it hollow beneath the stone?
Why is mother crying, on her own?

An English garden in the rain
Something hidden, 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
When we fall, we will fall like Rome
Why can't we in the garden play?
The servants stare then look away
Why has the hall clock suddenly stopped?
And why are the French windows always locked?

Chorus

Why was the governess sent away?
Why won't any of the servants stay?
Is that thunder overhead?
And who is that standing by my bed?

Chorus
