Secret Garden











Shell let you in her house
If you come knockin late at night
Shell let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
Shell let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

Shell let you in her car
To go drivin round
Shell let you into the parts of herself
Thatll bring you down
Shell let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice

Youve gone a million miles
How fard you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget

Shell lead you down a path
Therell be tenderness in the air
Shell let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Shell look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
Shes got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay

A million miles away
