Garden

[Intro: Áine Zion] I'm not telling you to love what I love. I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and are in love with. And do what you can not to offend this sensitive soul, who has seen things no lips can't confess, no pain can bear witness to, no mind can justify, no memory can wipe [Verse 1: Emeli Sandé] Let me love, let me touch, let me love Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain In the car, on the street, in the dark Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden [Chorus: Emeli Sandé] Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop [Verse 2: Emeli Sandé] You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch How you offer up all your love and devotion Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean [Chorus: Emeli Sandé] Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop [Verse 3: Emeli Sandé] You make it real, make me feel, make me feel I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains Talk is cheap, can you rescue me? No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden [Chorus: Emeli Sandé] Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop [Verse 4: Jay Electronica] Once upon a time ago I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend And yelled, "Geronimo!" And rode the wings of love to outer space But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo Euphoria to torture I left a note that had a rhyme, it go: Love is like a ferris wheel Love is like a roller coaster Love is at a standstill Body after body after body It's a landfill And I just caught a body In the lobby and got my hands filled I'm a serial lover I set up all the dates That rang up fate and got my friends killed I barely knew my dad, sometimes I feel like my mother I love that Purple Rain love That have a fight, that scratch my face That fuck outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and ready Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary Your garden is my sanctuary [Chorus: Emeli Sandé] Back of the garden Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Yeah oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready Oooh ooh, don't stop [Outro: Áine Zion] Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary, my best friend, my mentor, my lover, my teacher, my preacher, my one and ending, my everything. From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon. From before until always I'm yours. So keep me safe within yourself. Bow to my throne, no matter what, and I will stand tall
