about

I had some yellow rose plants that Stephanie bought me for my 40th birthday. These were special and a symbol of vitality and growth. They also have deep meaning for us as a couple. I waited too long to plant them and finally decided to find a place to plant them in our garden in the backyard. I fear I might have waited too long to plant them but still tend to them everyday and watch if they will one day take root. I can't help but think that these roses symbolize my life and the desperation I have for growth, beauty and deep meaning.

lyrics

All these yellow rose plants
Sitting for too long
On the shelf beside our back door
With this soil in my hands
I find a place to let it stand
Buried deep in the garden

I give it water everyday
But I fear I've made a grave

Rain in the garden for me
Rain in the Garden please
In the garden

There was a plan I had in mind
But I’m always wasting time
Thinking about tomorrow
I know the days are never kind
I want look outside to find
Yellow pedals blooming

I need a lot of sun to shine
Give me back my life

Rain in the garden for me
Rain in the Garden please
Rain in the garden for me
Rain in the garden please

In the garden

Come rain down
Come rain down
In the garden
