The Sun and the rain
Fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love

And there's a rose for the way
My spirits rose when we met
A forget-me-not to remind me
To remember not to forget
A pine tree for the way
I pined over you
And an ash for the day
I ashed you to be true

And the Sun and the rain
Fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love

And there's a palm tree that we planted
When we had our first date
A turnip for the way you always
Used to turn up late

Your mother and your cousin Chris
They often used to come
So, in their honor, I have raised
A nice Chris 'n' the-mum

And the Sun and the rain
Fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love

And there's a beetroot for the day
That you said that you'd be true to me
A sweet pea for the sweet way
You always smiled at me
But you had friends who needed you
There was Ferdy, there was Liza
So in their honor I put down
A load of fertilizer

And the Sun and the rain
Fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love

But Gus the gardener's left now
And you went with him too
The fungus here reminds me
Of the fun Gus is having with you
Now the rockery's a mockery
With weeds, it's overgrown
The fuchsia's gone

I couldn't face the fuchsia all alone

And my tears fell like raindrops
From the sky above
And poisoned all the flowers
In my garden of love
