[Verse 1]
Newspaper faces in the pale morning street
Swapping secrets with the cobbled concrete
Cracked reflections in storefront glass
Counting hours that quietly pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Faded velvet tucked behind the door
Silver laughter drifts across the floor

[Chorus]
Sun rays creep through the window pane
I paint a face with my yesterday’s pain
Dreams tumble down like dominoes
Tell me which way the garden grows

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, how the garden grows
Oh oh, under painted skies

[Verse 2]
Walking backwards in my Sunday shoes
Puzzle pieces and forgotten news
A photograph in a teacup swirl
Spinning hopes for a reckless world

[Pre-Chorus]
Curtain call for who we used to be
Shadows flicker in faded memory

[Chorus]
Sun rays creep through the window pane
I paint a face with my yesterday’s pain
Dreams tumble down like dominoes
Tell me which way the garden grows

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, how the garden grows
Oh oh, under painted skies

[Bridge]
Rain tapping softly on windowsills
Thin-laced promises yet to fulfill
Pennies tossed in the wishing well
Carried away where secrets dwell

[Chorus]
Sun rays creep through the window pane
I paint a face with my yesterday’s pain
Dreams tumble down like dominoes
Tell me which way the garden grows

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, how the garden grows
Oh oh, under painted skies
Oh oh, let the morning rise
