I'm sitting here lately

Thinking about us maybe

Taking a break was a good thing



'Cause we were just children

Following a feeling

Not knowing love could wither away



But looking back it passed so softly

But common strangers we could not see

Just tired of fighting tired of hanging on



But now that you're gone I can see

That love is a garden if you let it go

It fades away before you know

And love is a garden it needs help to grow

Ours is starving but there's still hope

Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses

Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing

Come on, baby, baby, come home



Living with each other

Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be

You'd stay out all night and you'd say I was uptight

And soon we were only fighting



But looking back from this side now

It's hard to imagine wonder how

I thought it was you who was always wrong

But I can see

That love is a garden if you let it go

It fades away before you know

And love is a garden it needs help to grow

Ours is starving but there's still hope

Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses

Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing

Come on, baby, baby, come home



Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss,

And our moms all squeeze like weeds they get in the way

Now you're gone and I'm here,

I'm missing you dear,

We took a break what a mistake

What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you.

Cause I can see



That love is a garden if you let it go

It fades away before you know

And love is a garden it needs help to grow

Ours is starving but there's still hope

Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses

Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing

Come on, baby, baby, come home



Let's throw away our old cell phones

Let's just stay in bed

Let's just stay home

Come on baby, baby come home



I'm sitting here lately

Thinking about us maybe

taking a break was a bad thing



Rosey and Mick



Mick came home late last night

He drank enough beer to take the edge off a knife

And she opened the door, looking older than before



He said, "Rosey, you're too good a girl"

She let him in, he lifted up her dress

Like an apology began to kiss her breast

And he felt much relieved as the ceiling fan tapped out a broken melody



And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,

Making up was always your favorite part

Well, I ain't young no more

And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart."



He came home threw his things on the floor

She worked up the courage to say what she never had before

But the words got lost inside

He got that look in his eye as the sun went shining on



And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,

Making up was always your favorite part

Well, I ain't young no more

And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart."



Well the judge knew well Mick was a violent man

She got a few headlines, she got a slap on the hand

And there ain't no villains and there ain't no heroes

People on both sides of the tracks trying to add up a whole bunch of zeros

And time marches on until it's all gone



And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,

Making up was always your favorite part

Well, I ain't young no more

And I'm sorry will not mend a broken, a broken heart."
