[Verse 1]
Hold me closely, I don't know me
I'm so lonely, sipping slowly
Similar interests, building our fences
What's got you offended?
We aren't so different
I told her, "Stop being that way if you can"
I can show you something grand
You've got options, so do I
But I just want you in this life
Steeping the leaves, and sleeping with ease
Not superficial, it's deeper to me
Process the grief as I weep with the trees
Finding my balance and keeping the peace

[Chorus]
In my garden, my tea garden
Leaves are falling, wind is calling
In my garden, my tea garden

[Verse 2]
Growing my hair out to show how far I've come
Lighter than air now, I'll tell you when I'm done
Full of the essence that breathes in the soil
Half of my blessings revealed in the toil
Revel in the work, there's beauty in the sweat
And people may plant in the seeds of regret
I forget what it sprouts, and to what it amounts
It's a loss that I count, I don't keep it around
[Chorus]
In my garden, my tea garden
Leaves are falling, wind is calling
In my garden, my tea garden

[Verse 3]
All of the time spent on thinking about them
Places where I've been, the fields and the mountains
The field of the doubting, the field of the pain
I'm placing my crops there to reap with the rain
It's keeping me sane, I can't complain
Calling me by no other name but
The one I came with, the one I stay with
It's you I lay with, you where my faith is
