Donovan Cooper-Garden/Graveyard

Lyrics:
Moving through this world in a waking dream
At once lovely and grotesque
Haunted and forever in bloom
Every ephemeral fragrance recalls you
Ghosts of dead dreams and memories
Toss me between hope and grief
Now the whole Earth is
Our garden
Our garden and graveyard
Thrown into a tumult of ecstasies
Scarlet and black
A state in which everything
Every broken branch
Every stray cement crack
Is a portent
And seems to
Stare back
Now the whole Earth is
Our garden
Our garden and graveyard
All that's been and gone
All that's yet to be
For now remains
A painful mystery
Maybe one day things will change
But for now...
The whole Earth is
Our garden
Our garden and graveyard
