The Gardener

I sense a runner in the garden
 Although my judgment's known to fail
 Once built a steamboat in a meadow
 'Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
 I know the runner's going to tell you
 There ain't no cowboy in my hair
 So now he's buried by the daisies
 So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
 I sense a spy up in the chimney
 From all the evidence I've burned
 I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
 And soon to ashes I'll return
 I know the spy is going to tell you
 It's not my flag up in the pole
 So now he's buried by the lilies
 So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
 I sense a leak inside my phone now
 From all the lies that I have told
 I know he has your private number
 And soon he'll make that vicious call
 I know the leak is going to tell you
 There ain't no puppy in your leash
 So now he'll fertilize the roses
 So I could stay the king you see in your eyes, babe
 In your eyes, babe
 ♪
 So now we're dancing through the garden
 And what a garden I have made
 And now that death will grow my jasmine
 I find it soothing I'm afraid
 Now there is no need for suspicion
 There ain't no fraud kissing your hand
 I won't be lying when I tell you
 That I'm a gardener, I'm a man in your eyes, babe
 In your eyes, babe
 In your eyes, babe
 In your eyes, babe
