Song for Adam and Eve
Words & Music : Colum Sands © Elm Grove Music

Here's to the look that turned to a smile,
Lingered a while to shorten the mile
On the road that we took 'til we came to the stile
That would lead us right out of the garden.

And here's to the look that lingered that day
And caused us to reach out and touch in that way,
’Til our lips said all that words couldn't say
By the stile at the side of the garden.

And here's to the touch that became an embrace
That would quicken the heart of the whole human race,
While the scent of the orchard and the sun on your face
Crossed over the wall of the garden.

For outside the garden the wild flowers grow,
They're smiling in circles not standing in rows,
Their colours unite and it's not just for show
For love has no walls to its garden.

And here's to the apple you picked from the bough,
The juice on your fingers, I can still taste it now,
Sweet Eve it would seem that our children know how
We shared love by the side of the garden.

And here's to the one who said live and let live,
Made time for love, took time to forgive,
Said always remember as long as you live
Love has no walls to its garden.

For outside the garden the wild flowers grow,
They're smiling in circles not standing in rows,
Their colours unite and it's not just for show
For love has no walls to its garden.
