Once again I walked these streets They led me to a forlorn place I decided to open the gates And step into this shadowy place Not a long time ago I used to sit here from hour to hour From day to day From month to month All the beauty I saw around Was in these dying plants and dried soil Still those trees and flowers grew for me But they withered before they bloomed Now I'm sitting in these shadows again Remembering things I've seen and felt Remembering things I hoped I had forgotten Too much darkness Too much pain for one garden to take! Back on my feet I leave this place It's too much for my heart to face I close the gate and walk away But when will I have to come back again? Shadowy garden, I thought I left you for good But here I am again, standing at your gates Shadowy garden, I tried to forget you But time after time I stumble across you! Shadowy garden, forever you'll be there But know that now I have also other gardens to stay Perhaps one day When I have the strength I'll take one withered flower Away from your poisoned ground I'll move it to some other garden And plant it into good soil And one day I'll watch the dead come alive Shadowy garden, it has come time for me to move on.
