Intro: 

        /          
I sense a runner in the garden
                              AM6addm9   
Although my judgment's known to fail
          /           
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
                          AM6addm9  
Cause I'd forgotten how to sail

                          
I know the runner's going to tell you
                         
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
                       
So now he's buried by the daisies
                                                
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe


I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return

I know the spy is going to tell you
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call

I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see
In your eyes, babe (x2)

So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine
I find it soothing I'm afraid

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
In your eyes babe (x3)
