And he was walking in the garden

  

                      
And he was walking in the night

  

                     
And he was singing a sad love song

  

                       
And he was praying for his life

  

                   
And the stars came out around him

                   
He was thinking of his sins

                      
And he was looking at his songbird

                      
And he was looking at his wings


There inside the garden
came another with his lips
Said, "Won't you come and be my lover?
Let me give you a little kiss"
And he came, knelt down before him
and fell upon his knees
Said, "I will give you gold and mountains
if you stay awhile with me"
And there was trouble taking place.
There inside the garden
They kissed, and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
and he found he was alone
And the wind, it gathered 'round him
He was thinking of his sins
He was looking at his songbird
And he was looking at his wings
And there was trouble taking place.
