Once again I walked these streets / they led me to a forlorn place / I decided to open the gates / and step into this shadowy place / Not a long time ago / I used to sit here from hour to hour / from day to day / from month to month / All the beauty I saw around / was in these dying plants and dried soil / Still those trees and flowers grew for me / but they withered before they bloomed / Now I'm sitting in these shadows again / remembering things I've seen and felt / Remembering things I hoped I had forgotten / Too much darkness / too much pain for one garden to take! / Back on my feet I leave this place / It's too much for my heart to face / I close the gate and walk away / but when will I have to come back again? / Shadowy garden, I thought I left you for good / but here I am again, standing at your gates / Shadowy garden, I tried to forget you / but time after time I stumble across you! / Shadowy garden, forever you'll be there / but know that now I have also other gardens to stay / Perhaps one day / when I have the strength / I'll take one withered flower / away from your poisoned ground / I'll move it to some other garden / and plant it into good soil / and one day / I'll watch the dead come alive / Shadowy garden, it has come time for me to move on.
