about

The May 2021 single from A.M. Rodriguez.

lyrics

Plant me a garden
oh won’t you, my love?
I’ll sing to it nightly
with the stars up above

The home that we’ve grown
And worked with our tears
Now them sun-kissed clouds
Have soiled our fears

Because a death in the country
Ain’t half so far removed
From a life in the city
As what we intended to be

I was rats in the walls
Of my former lives
But a field mouse don’t worry
She comes here each night

We drink bourbon
Talk of our old, road-worn ways
And the loves that we lost
But don’t regret most days

##

Light my way home
I’ll carry the torch
Fill up my glass
I’ll give you the first drink

Politicians and lawyers
Are what now scares me
I’ve learned the dark don’t hold
Half such terrible things

Yes, I’ve learned the dark don’t hold
Half such terrible things...
