Green Garden Lyrics
[Verse]
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it’s okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Oh ah, oh ah oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree top and down again
Putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
Walk on the carpet of green velvet
[Chorus]
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
[Verse]
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it’s okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it’s okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Oh ah, oh ah oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree top and down again
Putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
Walk on the carpet of green velvet
[Chorus]
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
[Verse]
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it’s okay now
Bathe in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
I’ll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I’ll go
I’ll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I’ll go
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree top and down again
Putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
Walk on the carpet of green velvet
[Chorus]
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Dance in my garden like we used to
Take me outside, take me outside
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
[Outro]
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
Wherever you take me, I’ll go
I’ll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I’ll go
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly
High as a tree top and down again
Putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
Walk on the carpet of green velvet
[Chorus]
Dance in my garden like we used to
Oh ah, oh ah oh
Dance in my garden like we used to
Take me outside, take me outside
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
[Outro]
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go wherever you go
Wherever you take me, I'll go
About
Genius Annotation
“Green Garden” is an elegy to Mvula’s old home in Kings Heath, Birmingham, where she and her family moved to from Selly Park. As Mvula explained to The Birmingham Post:
When we moved to our new house, for us kids it was a huge huge big deal to have trees in the back garden. Where we had lived in Selly Park, the back garden was more concrete than grass, so it felt like we were in a forest. Some of my happiest memories are of endless summer holidays where it seems like we spent most of the time in the garden, making up dance routines or having mammoth waterfights. The song is a celebration of that.
