lyrics

Barkeep beneath a baobab
a garden 'twixt his eyes
fed them drinks of rare rain water
fed dreams of sky

that barkeep beneath a baobab
a river 'twixt his eyes
sat and smiled, turned and tilled...

his garden left behind

though he never cast them out
nevertheless they leave
they make up a fiction feminine
of anger and of fear

so East of Eden
and just South of Hell
the barkeep he sees them go
reciprocal round, tortuous bound,
and cast of sins sown

He's cried two rivers for your garden!
He's cried two rivers for your garden!
He's cried two rivers for your garden!

Solitary shriveled man
cries two rivers
for his patrons' flight
but he smiles serine in sight
drawn in between those eyes
knowing gardens kept and fires alight

rest everyone
rest everyone inside
