Whose Garden Was This - Tom Paxton

Whose garden was this

It must have been lovely

Did it have flowers

I’ve seen pictures of flowers

And I’d love to have smelled one

Whose river was this

You say it ran freely

Blue was it’s colour

And I’ve seen blue in some pictures

And I’d love to have been there

Tell me again, I need to know

The forest had trees, the meadows were green

The oceans were blue

And birds really flew

Can you swear that it’s true

Whose grey sky was this

Or was it a blue one

You say they were breezes

I’ve heard records of breezes

And I’d love to have felt one

Tell me again, I need to know

The forest had trees, the meadows were green

The oceans were blue

And birds really flew

Can you swear that it’s true

Whose garden was this

It must have been lovely

Did it have flowers

I’ve seen pictures of flowers

And I’d love to have smelled one

Tell me again, I need to know

Tell me again, I need to know

Tell me again, I need to know
