It was folly, it was grace
Every night I see your face before I go to sleep
You’re the shadow on the wall
You’re the footsteps in the hall
You’re the knocking at my window
Come to fix a leak

Ooh

Tell me father did I do it right
Where did I go wrong again
Tell me father what you do at night
In gardens of cerulean

Ooh a part of me is hiding while you go seek
Ooh a part of me is still in the back seat
Carry me

It was folly, it was grace
You were only twenty eight when you started
Now I cannot keep the pace
I am wading into honey colored water
Young beyond belief

Ooh

Tell me father did I do it right
Where did I go wrong again
Tell me father what you do at night
In gardens of cerulean

Ooh a part of me is hiding while you go seek
Ooh a part of me is still in the back seat

Tell me father what you do when you’re alone
You’re the keeper of a garden overgrown
Through the branches there’s a son that’s always shone
And called from time to time

Tell me father did I do it right
Where did I go wrong again
Tell me father what you do at night
In gardens of cerulean

Ooh a part of me is hiding while you go seek
Ooh a part of me is still in the back seat
Carry me
