The Garden Rules Lyrics

There's the river, there's your house and there's the church
And there's us years ago
Deep in your garden where the Nettle met the Rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes, we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
It's what you always said
Oh, you'll never know
How much I love you so
Oh, you will never know
How much I love ya

You would call the garden rules out like commands
We would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laugher as you spoke
And puncture the pretend
And we would chase our tales
Until the sun forgot to shine
And our parents called our names
Till just you and I were left
Oh, you'll never know
How much I love you so
Oh, you will never know
How much I love ya

From your house along the river
To the church, by the side of the fields
Amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you
As he's looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss
On my p****ly heating cheek
Oh, you'll never know
How much I love you so
Oh, you will never know
How much I love ya
