Walkin’ Through the Garden Lyrics by Brian Fallon
I went out walking through the garden one day
Me and Miss Mary, just a-floatin’ away
I lost my baby in the cool and the grey
Can you tell me where my baby is tonight?
Now there were rumblings I heard from afar
‘Bout fruit and trees and poison and the snakes in the dark
Did she run off with another or is she crawling in need?
Can anybody tell me where my angel could be?
Where are you, baby? I’m calling in the dark
Where are you, baby? I can hear your little heart
Have you been eating from the apple tree? (Ah, ah)
Have you been lying, baby, lying to me? (Ah, ah)
Now, I searched along the rivers, and I searched among the stars
Looked out in California in the neighborhood bars
I kept my lantern burning so she would come back to me
But I think I saw the devil in her passenger seat
Where are you, baby? I’m calling in the dark
Where are you, baby? I can hear your little heart
Have you been eating from the apple tree? (Ah, ah)
Have you been lying, baby, lying to me? (Ah, ah)
Oh, my sisters and my brothers, let me tell you about my lover
She was glory like a sunrise, we were made for each other
Now, the serpent, he was subtle, more than all our other troubles
And he spoke the words that I couldn’t speak
Yes, he spoke the words that I couldn’t speak
Where are you, baby? I’m calling in the dark
Where are you, baby? I can hear your little heart
Have you been eating from the apple tree? (Ah, ah)
And have you been lying, baby, lying to me? (Ah, ah)
I said, “Have you been lying, baby, lying to me?” (Ah, ah)
Have you been lying, baby, lying to me?
