Thorn Tree in the Garden lyrics

There's a thorn tree in the garden

If you know just what I mean

And I hate to hurt your feelings

But it's not the way it seems, 'cause I miss her

She's the only girl I've cared for

The only one I've known

And no one ever shared more love

Than we've known and I miss her

But it all seems so strange you see

'Cause she'd never turn her back on me

And leave without a last goodbye

And if she winds up walking the streets

Loving every other man she meets

Who'll be the one to answer why?

Lord, I hope it's not me, oh it's not me

And if I never see her face again

I never hold her hand

And if she's in somebody's arms

I know I'll understand but I'll miss that girl

Lord I still miss that girl

Maybe someday soon, some way
