Garden of Eden - Paula Cole

Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent

I simply watch, your little life from high above

Wanting to call you, wanting to sing

Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul

I dig my grave, behind the gates of Babylon

There’s a Garden of Eden

In your distant heart

Garden of Eden

In your earthly arms

Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden

I’m beckoning, but you ignore my siren song

Oh I long, to touch you, to step inside your sacred gate

I’ll dig my grave in the middle of golden bible snake

There’s a Garden of Eden

In your distant heart

Garden of Eden

In your earthly arms

The black-eyed bird is dying

The queen is dead

She’ll never step foot in Eden

There’s a Garden of Eden

In your distant heart

Garden of Eden

In your earthly arms
