Secret Garden lyrics

He said

Oh Mary, contrary how does your garden grow?

Come with me, and you'll be the seventh maid in a row

My answer was laughter soft as I lowered my head

You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead

Resetting as I was with blossoms in full bloom (blossoms in full bloom)

Never a chance to pause with magic to consume (magic to consume)

A shadow walked behind me offering his hand

But couldn't understand

He said

Oh Mary, contrary how does your garden grow?

Come with me, and you'll be the seventh maid in a row

My answer was laughter soft as I lowered my head

You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead

Scattering petals down the road without an end (road without an end)

Left on the battleground for one I called my friend (one I called my friend)

Maybe he loved me as he took me by the hand

And tried to understand

I said

Oh Mary, contrary how does your garden grow?

Stay with me, I can't see anywhere that we could go

Their answer was laughter as darkness swallowed them up

One more time. I'll be fine, sometimes kindness is enough

Oh Mary, contrary how does your garden grow?

Don't leave me, please don't be the seventh maid in a row

My answer, a whisper soft as he lowered his head

Set him free. I'm sorry, this flower's already dead!
