Why I Came to Climb Your Garden Wall

Why I Came to Climb Your Garden Wall

I can see that you are hurting and I see you keep it in

Sitting on the front porch with your hand upon your chin

There are many beautiful spaces that are not "free to all"

That's way I came to climb your garden wall

I respected your right to loneliness a little bit to long

Decided not to talk it out but now I think that's wrong

I may be a little clumsy and I may slip and fall

But I have come to climb your garden wall

And I know how you are feeling because there was a time

When I was locked in lonely and no one even cared to climb up mine

I will get through where the vines grow thick

And the rain's caught in the leaves

Though the stones may be rough and sharp

Though my shins might bruise and my hands might bleed

See the bottom line is I love you and that may not say it all

But that's way I've come to climb your garden wall
