Beginners Gardening

The Tallest Man On Earth performs “The Gardener” live at KEXP. Recorded 12/30/2008.

The Tallest Man on Earth – The Gardener I sense a runner in the garden Although my judgements known to fail Once built a steamboat in a meadow Cos I’d forgotten how to sail I know the runner’s going to tell you There ain’t no cowboy in my hair So now he’s buried by the daisies So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe I sense a spy up in the chimney From all the evidence I’ve burned I guess he’ll read it in the smoke now And soon to ashes I’ll return I know the spy is going to tell you It’s not my flag up in the pole So now he’s buried by the lilies So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe I sense a leak inside my phone now From all the lies I have told I know he has your private number And soon he’ll make that vicious call I know the leak is going to tell you There ain’t now puppy in your leash So now he’ll fertilize the roses So I could stay the king you see In your eyes, babe (x2) So now we’re dancing through the garden And what a garden I have made And now that death will grow my jasmine I find it soothing I’m afraid Now there is no need for suspicion There ain’t no frog kissing your hand I won’t be lying when I tell you That I’m a gardner I’m a man In your eyes babe (x3) From the album: Shallow Grave en.wikipedia.org snipr.com www.myspace.com www.thetallestmanonearth.com ©The Tallest Man on Earth ©Gravitation
