This garden that I built for you

That you sit in now and yearn

I will never leave it, dear

I could not bear to return

And find it all untended

With the trees all bended low

This garden is our home, dear

And I got nowhere else to go



So bring it on

Bring it on

Every little tear

Bring it on

Every useless fear

Bring it on

All your shattered dreams

And I'll scatter them into the sea

Into the sea



The geraniums on your window sill

The carnations, dear, and the daffodil

Well, they're ordinary flowers

But they long for the light of your touch

And of your trembling will

Ah, you're trembling still

And I am trembling too

To be perfectly honest I don't know

Quite what else to do



So bring it on

Bring it on

Every neglected dream

Bring it on

Every little scheme

Bring it on

Every little fear

And I'll make them disappear



So bring it on, bring it on

Bring it on

Every little thing

Bring it on

Every tiny fear

Bring it on

Every shattered dream

And I'll scatter them into the sea
