Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

How Does Your Garden Grow

You and your big ideas

Taking your time with me

Faithful as I faltered

Steady as I stumbled

A lifeline tossed in a boiling sea

Whose dream was that -

To parcel up my soul and pass the hat?

That’s not a style that suits you much

You lack that tender touch

That brings them back for more

Drove your old man out the door

When you tried it on before

You and your big ideas

And now that the scars don’t show

How Does Your Garden Grow?
