Garden Road
words and music by Stephen Barling

She married the sun
for his silver tooth and gun
So dark were the days
as she watched him till the maze

And you know
she won't come back
she can't come back
she's got to help him with his load
she won't come back
she can't come back
she's living down that garden road

Oh child of the corn
old before the day was born
your burden to yield
to the bounty of the field

Well you know
you won't come back
you can't come back
you're legs are achin' from the load
you won't come back
you can't come back
been too long down that garden road

She run off with the wind
never wonderin' how she'd sinned
Tremblin' like a bride
with his pistol by her side

And you know
she won't come back
she can't come back
she's shakin' off that heavy load
she won't come back
she can't come back
been too long down that garden road
