lyrics

There you stand,
In black-and-white glory,
A spade in your hand,
And beauty that comes from your family-run land,
A touch, simple frame for the things that you plan,
And things that you don’t plan.

And though this happened a long time ago,
I’m proud that you struggled to watch your world grow.

Mr Man can you sort my life out?
Can you help me rebuild things, in the heat of this drought?
Can I grow anything here?
Or do I need to find somewhere new?

Cause you, your garden is beautiful
You, your garden is beautiful
Cause I know you lost it all,
I know that you lost it all,

I grew a tiny flower from the roots in my head,
I think the seeds were planted the night when you said,
“Please don’t, please don’t fight, I’ll love you instead”
And now those tiny petals they fill me with dread.

Cause I want to be know,
For all the love shown,
For the garden we have grown.

Mr Man can you sort my life out?
Can you help me rebuild things, in the heat of this drought?
Can I grow anything here?
Or do I need to find somewhere new?

Cause you, your garden is beautiful
You, your garden is beautiful
Cause I know you lost it all,
I know that you lost it all.
I know that you lost it all.
I know that you lost it all.
