The Garden Rules

NOTE! Intro: ||: (Pause) :|| VERSE 1 There's the river, there's the house, and there's the church. And there's us years ago. Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose Is where we hide ourselves. PRE-CHORUS Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that. These are the garden rules, That's what you always said. Oh, you will never know, How much I love you so, Oh, you will never know, How much I love you. VERSE 2 You would call the garden rules out like commands, And we would all obey. But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke, And puncture the pretend. PRE-CHORUS And we would chase our tails until the sun forgot to shine. And our parents called our names, Until just you and I were left. CHORUS Oh, you will never know, How much I love you so, Oh you will never know, How much I love you. BRIDGE From your house we walk the river, to the church by the silent fields, Amongst the lavender of headstones, And the larks in our Sunday clothes. Your father comes to you as he's looking at his watch, You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek. CHORUS Oh, you will never know, How much I love you so. Oh you will never know, How much I love you. Oh you will never know, How much I love you so, Oh, you will never know, How much I love you. etc. etc. etc.
