The Garden By The Tracks

Music/Lyrics: Don de Leaumont

STARTED AS A DREAM,

WITH HOPES THAT EVERYONE WOULD SEE

A STATEMENT MADE WITH GIFTS FROM THE GROUND.

THE NEIGHBORS GATHERED ROUND,

FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN.

TO GET THEIR HANDS DIRTY, & MAKE A SOUND.

            A SOUND LOUD & CLEAR, FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR.

            A TRIBUTE TO THE ONES NOT COMING BACK.

            FOR EVERY SMILE THERE IS A TEAR,

                FOR EVERYBODY HERE.

            IN THE GARDEN, THAT SITS BESIDE THE TRACKS.

MANY LOVED ONES UP & GONE,

THEY SING A DIFFERENT SONG.

FROM ANOTHER FAR & BETTER PLACE.

IN THIS GARDEN BY THE TRACKS,

WE KNOW THEY CAN’T COME BACK.

BUT WE’LL PLANT AND SING IN EVERYBODY’S NAME.

            WE’LL SING LOUD & CLEAR, FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR.

            A TRIBUTE TO THE ONES NOT COMING BACK.

            FOR EVERY SMILE THERE IS A TEAR,

            FOR EVERYBODY HERE

            IN THE GARDEN, THAT SITS BESIDE THE TRACKS.
