One Garden Is Enough

[Verse 1]
I could chase a hundred blooms
Past the fence and down the lane
But I know the name of every seed
That waits beneath our windowpane
You bring water in a blue tin cup
I turn the soil where roots can reach
We make a little room for love
And give it what it needs

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the far fields keep their colors
Let the wind go where it goes
Here, your hand beside my hand
Is more than either of us chose

[Chorus]
One garden is enough for me
One patch of earth, one place to be
You and I, through sun and rain
Tend what we have, and it blooms again
One garden, growing wild and true
All I need is here with you

[Verse 2]
Some flowers open just one day
Some take years before they show
We don't ask the spring to hurry
We keep showing up to grow
When the climbing vine leans toward the gate
You tie it gently to the wall
A little care, a little time
Can make a small place hold it all

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the wide world keep its wonders
Let the seasons turn and roam
Every road may lead somewhere
But your voice still leads me home

[Chorus]
One garden is enough for me
One patch of earth, one place to be
You and I, through sun and rain
Tend what we have, and it blooms again
One garden, growing wild and true
All I need is here with you

[Bridge]
If one rose fades, we won't call it lost
We saved its color in the seeds
And when the cold comes through the gate
I'll warm the ground; you'll stay with me

[Final Chorus]
One garden is enough for me
One patch of earth, one place to be
You and I, through sun and rain
Tend what we have, and it blooms again
One garden, growing wild and true
All I need is here with you
One garden, growing wild and true
All my days, I'll tend it with you

[Outro]
One garden is enough
Here with you is enough
