Oh you run through the Garden of Eden and what did you see?
Was it thrilling, fulfilling, and all it was cracked up to be?
Oh you left her alone after placing a ring on her hand
Oh you run through the Garden of Eden, you're borne from this land

Now that woman you vowed, did she chased you out with her drum?
And did love turn to anguish when all of her crying was done?
And the ground broke beneath you, you lost every thing that you know
Oh you run through the Garden of Eden, where no one should go

If I could hold you for one more hour, would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day but the Garden of Eden took my love away

And you begged for forgiveness, you cried until no tears were left
But that woman of wisdom had wished for you only the best
Now your beard overgrown and disheveled, you're barely a man
Oh you run through the Garden of Eden, as fast as you can

If I could hold you for one more hour, would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day but the Garden of Eden took my love away

There's no pain in this garden, the sky knows nothing but blue
But perfection is nothing, when all she can think of is you
And you broke her to pieces, set fire to a wall that she built
Now you're left in the garden alone, with nothing but guilt
If I could hold you for one more hour, would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day but the Garden of Eden took my love away

If I could hold you for one more hour, would you lie with me among the flowers?
I wrote you a letter every day but the Garden of Eden took my love away

But the Garden of Eden took my love away
