Eden

Eden - 10000 Maniacs

Written by：Drew/Merchant/Gustafson/Augustyniak

We are the roses in the garden

Beauty with thorns among our leaves

To pick a rose you ask

Your hands to bleed

What is the reason

For having roses

When your blood is shed carelessly

It must be

For something

More than vanity

Believe me the truth

Is we're not honest not

The people

That we dream

We're not as close as we could be

Willing to grow but rains are shallow

Barren and wind scattered seed

On stone and dry

Land

We will be

Waiting for the light arisen

To flood inside the prison

And in that time

Kind words alone will teach us

No

Bitterness will reach us

Reason will be guided

In another way

All in time

But the clock is another

Demon

That devours our time

In eden

In our paradise

Will our eyes see well

Beneath us

Flowers all divine

Is there still time

If we wake

To discover

In life a precious

Love will that waking become

More heavenly
