Letra da Música City Garden de Jess Klein

Been lookin' at my city garden
For almost twelve months now
I been thinkin' bout a bargain
About tearin' that old fence down

The day that I moved in here
Found a single rusted lawn chair
And a note that said
Go and get 'em girl
Go and get 'em girl
Set of keys in my hand
For an empty room
On a small but wild plot of land

When August came, there grew a billion weeds
Shot out from in the core
I pulled til I fell to my knees
But those roots seemed to spread more and more

I waved the neighbors over
I said, Hey look this over
Shielding their eyes, they cried
Go and get 'em girl
Go and get 'em girl
Turned back to their land
But my rugged green
Kept on pushin' new life up to stand

I used to date a boy in Paris
Until I hit New York
And aren't we velvet-petalled roses
Til we're up against the big sharks

Rooted on this island
My thoughts they started climbin'
And it grew and grew
I would leave him there
I would leave him there
But then he let me go
He must have known
That roots this deep
Only can bring forth
One bloom to grow

Been lookin' at my city garden
For almost twelve months now
I been thinkin' bout a bargain
About tearin' that old fence down
