lyrics

just a word if your back is hurting
just a word to prove I am a friend
I'll invite you to the hanging garden
put you on the mend

at the top of a spiral staircase
at times I can't believe it's where I live
anything you want will be in season
no matter when it is

and in the evening
when the ladies are leaving
we play lovely music 'til the morn
and in the morning
we go straight to exploring
we've never had complaints in here before

I don't care if your wallet's empty
I don't care if you're immature
you're invited to the hanging garden
it might as well be yours

I don't know a lot about your problems
I don't really have them anymore
but if there's common ground, come round
we never lock the door

we've never had to pay for food or water
being present is our room and board

we bid Au Revoir to Americana
found Plymouth Rock behind our door, and
now we're more or less a brand new country
though we've never had a war

Seven Swans Reimagined
by On Joyful Wings

I really, really, really dislike tribute records. This is the only album that has ever challenged my opinion of the medium. Sufjan's songwriting is apparently a canvas that anyone can paint on. Pet Giant
