Lyrics
Trying to make his garden grow, cursing at the rain
Counting all his seeds there in a row
Standing in the furrowed ground
A desolate scarecrow
Swearing that the past won’t come again
Staring at the gulls above hanging in the breeze
Threatening the order that he loves
Brandishing a work-worn hand
Swears he’s had enough
Nature’s disarray is a disease
He just wants to live, love and dream
Live, love and dream
Tend the days that pass, then let them go at last
Live, love and dream
Maybe when the spring arrives and earth reveals its skin
Maybe when he sees a clearer sky
Maybe in that kinder light
Shadows won’t disguise
Maybe then he’ll let himself begin
To live, love and dream
Live, love and dream
Tend the days that pass, then let them go at last
Live, love and dream, live, love and dream
Tend the days that pass, then let them go at last
And live, love, dream
