Song by Johnny Flynn from the soundtrack he made for the 2011 film “Bag of Hammers”. Paintings by Beverly A. Mitchell. The soundtrack was only released for one day on LP in a few stores!
Here’s the lyrics as deciphered by plenixfyre. (any better lyrics anyone?)
‘Flowers in my garden
birds in all the trees
this is where I’m rooted
still I’ve got to leave
yes I must be cut now
and yes I’ve got to go farfor bread and wine
nautic stover mead(?)
and sainted wing
in every keyjumping and changing
roman girl
lopping, laughing
cockney proudI’m in the small things with the loom
and you can’t give me any new
except the small things you give me
to beat around you when you listenand it could be with Juliet
but we’re on this long troddener
and we might be familiar
were it not for them that day last timeand were it not a separation
brought in by an in-congregationthe eyes were given, give a sigh
of one another in the lye
and in the doorway of a dark cafe
and just before I fall asleep
and dream of you
and wake to find you in another day’Old School Gardener
