Secret Gardens

Am   G   Am   Em   Dm  C   F   G

   C                            Am
My grandmother's house is still there
                 Em
But it isn't the same
  C            F
A plain wooden cottage
  Dm             G
A patch of brown lawn
      Dm               Am
And a fence that hangs standing
    F                      C     G
And sighing in the Seattle rain

  C             Am
I drive by with strangers
                               Em
And wish they could see what I see
  C                F
A tangle of summer birds
Dm           G
Flying in sunlight
  Dm         Am
A forest of lilies
   F                  C      G
An orchard of apricot trees

F      Dm      F      C
Secret Gardens of the heart
          F                Dm C
Where the flowers bloom forever
  F       Dm      F           C
I see you shining through the night
F                      Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter

      C                           Am
Great grandfather's farm is still there
                 Em
But it isn't the same
    C            F
The barn is torn down
        Dm         G
And the fences are gone
    Dm         Am
The Idaho wind blows
    F                  C       G
The topsoil away every Spring

  C             Am
I still see the ghosts
                           Em
Of the people I knew long ago
  C            F
Inside the old kitchen
     Dm       G
They bend and sigh
   Dm               Am
My life passed them up
        F                 C   G
And the world passed them by

F      Dm      F      C
Secret Gardens of the heart
          F                 Dm C
Where the old stay young forever
  F       Dm      F           C
I see you shining through the night
F                      Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter

    C                             Am
But most of all it is me that has changed
                      Em
And yet I'm still the same
       C         F
That's me at the weddings
       Dm        G
That's me at the graves
Dm               Am
Dressed like the people
    F                           C      G
Who once looked so grown-up and brave

  C                              Am
I look in the mirror through the eyes
                      Em
Of the child that was me
  C           F
I see willows bending
    Dm        G
The season is Spring
        Dm                  Am
And the silver blue sailing birds
F                         C      G
Fly with the sun on their wings

F      Dm      F      C
Secret Gardens of the heart
      F                 Dm C
Where dreams live on forever
  F       Dm      F           C
I see you shining through the night
F                      Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter
