He said,
"Oh Mary,
Contrary,
How does your garden grow?"
"Come with me
And you'll be
The seventh maid in a row."
My answer
Was laughter
Soft as I lowered my head
*You're too late,
I'm afraid,
This flower's already dead.
Resetting as I was
With blossoms in full bloom
(Blossoms in full bloom)
Never a chance to pause
With magic to consume
(Magic to consume)
A shadow walked behind me
Offering his hand
But couldn't understand
He said,
"Oh Mary,
Contrary,
How does your garden grow?"
"Come with me
And you'll be
The seventh maid in a row."
My answer
Was laughter
Soft as I lowered my head
*You're too late,
I'm afraid,
This flower's already dead
~instramentals~
Scattering petals
Down the road without and end
(Road without an end)
Left on the battleground
For one I called my friend
(One I called my friend)
Maybe he loved me
As he
Took me by the hand
And tried to understand
I said,
"Oh Mary,
Contrary,
How does your garden grow?"
"Stay with me,
I can't see
Anywhere that we could go."
Their answer
Was laughter
As darkness swallowed them up
One more time,
I'll be fine
Sometimes kindness is enough
"Oh Mary,
Contrary,
How does your garden grow?"
"Don't leave me,
Please don't be
The seventh maid in a row."
My answer
A whisper
Soft as he lowered his head
*Set them free,
I'm sorry
This flower's already dead
-"Secret Garden", a Flowerfell song
