From Copper Wires. Note that the fade out here is cut off, as on Copper Wires the final split second is after the track split

lyrics

I love you and you love me
Oh how happy we could be
In the garden

Standing naked in the light
Walking slow in the cool of the night
In the garden
In the garden

But we were blind and much too young
We listened to the serpent's tongue
Love was singing without sound
We saw the light but turned around
In the garden

Separated when darkness fell
Our choice unlocked the gates of hell
Now the garden's dead and gone
And our suffering goes on and on and on

We were deceived by a dark device
We were so close to paradise
In the garden

Now we face the burning sun
And talk of what we should have done
In the garden

Before we touched that wretched tree
We had the chance to live so free
In the garden

But we were blind and much too young
We listened to the serpent's tongue
Deceived by a dark device
We've let go of paradise

When finally death gives us release
Then once again we'll be at peace
In the garden

In the garden [x4]
