Lucy Simon & Marsha Norman - It's a Maze lyrics

Plant a hedge, cut it back Dig a hole try to fill it Plant a rose, tie it back Find a mole, try to k** it It's a maze this garden, it's a maze of ways Any man can spend his day It's a maze, this garden, it's a maze of paths But a soul can find the way For an old man knows how a year it goes How the cold hard ground in the spring comes 'round How the seeds take hold and the birds unfold How an English garden grows Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate Tiptoed the chambermaids and stole their pearls Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls Come along, love, come fly away, fly along Come along, fly away home Come along, love, you've come a long way You've flown all the day, fly away home Miss a step, trip and fall Miss the path, meet the wall Miss the way, miss a turn Getting lost is how you learn It's a maze, this garden, it's a maze of paths Meant to lead a man astray Take a left and then, turning left again How a soul can find the way For an old man knows how a year it goes How the cold hard ground in the spring comes 'round How in time it shows how a garden grows How an English garden grows How the roses climb How sublime the time When an English garden grows
