I am standing in paradise gardens
Where you told me to wait
It took getting soaked in the rain
To realise you only loved me in the sun
You wrote my name in the mud
Whist I etched yours into the trees
I watched my love grow
It took being washed away in the rain to realise your love was temporary
For years I had tasted the artificial flavours of your words
And inhaled the ammonia
Of your aroma
Now I drink only water
