Lyrics Mary Hopkin

Mary Hopkin

Kew Gardens

The air was cool on lily pools,

Hazy lazy,

And here and there he'd stop to stare

Admiring all the flowers,

Wandering round for hours.

The sun was warm across the lawn

Scented blended

He saw her linger

And With her finger open up a rose,

Standing on tip toes

Suddenly the rain came flurrying,

Sending the two of them scurrying,

Helter skelter for the shelter

And feeling bolder in the big pagoda,

He gently enquired her name,

And they waited till the sunshine came.

Kew gardens

And for a while

The griffin smiled,

Kindly, blindly,

Till the evening bell broke the spell,

And sadly they said goodbye

And one of the griffins cried.

In Kew Gardens.
