Lyrics

Twenty-five years I’ve spent in waiting
Slow and patient making roots
For a day when light comes breaking
Life’s sweet roses come to bloom

And I while the time down in my garden
Pulling weeds and trimming vines
Scraping deep to turn the soil
Hum a tune to pass the time like

Da dee di dum da dee di da dum dee di da dum dee di dum
Da dee di da dum dee di da dee di da dum dee di dum

Your morning came to thaw the soil
blossoms turning to the light
Golden sunshine in your eyes
I feel my heartbeat come to life

So I cast the seeds into the furrows
Wait to hear the kettle sing
Sweep the porch and smell the rain
Hear the crickets fiddling like

Now the sweet peas are climbing shoulder high
We’ll lose the time your hand in mine
This house was gray till I learned to see
You painted it so warm and green

Now it’s green in summer, gold in fall,
White in winter, pink in spring
And all the colors of the garden
Echo on the song we sing

Da dee di dum da dee di da dum dee di da dum dee di dum
Da dee di da dum dee di da dee di da dum dee di dum
Dee di da dum dee di dum
