Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens - Ralph McTell

The air was cool on lily pools

Hazy lazy

And here and there he'd stop to stare

Admiring all the flowers

Wandering round for hours

The sun was warm across the lawn

Scented blended

He saw her linger

And With her finger open up a rose

Standing on tip toes

Suddenly the rain came flurrying

Sending the two of them scurrying

Helter skelter for the shelter

And feeling bolder in the big pagoda

He gently enquired her name

And they waited till the sunshine came

Kew gardens

And for a while

The griffin smiled

Kindly blindly

Till the evening bell broke the spell

And sadly they said goodbye

And one of the griffins cried

In Kew Gardens
