Tom Dowd - A Thorn Tree in the Garden lyrics

There's a thorn tree in the garden If you know just what I mean And I hate to hurt your feelings But it's not the way it seems, 'cause I miss her She's the only girl I've cared for The only one I've known And no one ever shared more love Than we've known and I miss her But it all seems so strange to see That she'd ever turn her back on me And leave without a last goodbye And if she winds up walking the streets Loving every other man she meets Who'll be the one to answer why? Lord, I hope it's not me, oh it's not me And if I never see her face again I never hold her hand And if she's in somebody's arms I know I'll understand but I'll miss that girl Lord I still miss that girl Maybe someday soon, somewhere
