Michael In The Garden-Ralph McTell

[00:11.56]Out in the garden, amongst the bushes, Michael is crying. [00:21.33]Caught in a spider's web, its broken wings beating, a butterfly dying. [00:30.83]Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [00:33.39]la, la, la, la, la, la, la [00:35.62]And they in their wisdom say [00:38.32]'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' [00:45.46]Well they must be blind, if they can't see what Michael sees. [00:56.33]Michael is silent, talking to no one of things that he sees. [01:05.83]But out in the garden, he talks in soft whispers, like the wind in the leaves. [01:15.61]Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [01:18.02]la, la, la, la, la, la, la. [01:20.23]And they in their wisdom say [01:22.93]'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' [01:30.24]They've seen the signs, but they can't see what Michael sees. [01:40.51]And inside the building someone is calling his name through the halls. [01:49.88]But he doesn't answer, though he easily hears each leaf as it falls. [01:59.61]Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [02:02.08]la, la, la, la, la, la, la. [02:04.32]And they in their wisdom say [02:07.02]'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' [02:13.99]Well they must be blind, for they can't see what Michael sees. [02:24.49]Michael where are you ? [02:31.38]Michael where are we, [02:35.10]We who see that there's something wrong with your mind? [02:41.92]And inside the garden Michael is smiling, at peace in his world. [02:51.53]At one with the insects, the flowers, and the trees, and the wind and the birds. [03:01.02]Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [03:03.52]la, la, la, la, la, la, la. [03:05.87]Oh Michael sees all [03:09.45]Behind the high walls [03:12.76]Surrounding his kingdom, [03:16.09]Whilst we in our wisdom [03:19.76]Still trapped in the spider's web [03:23.82]Far from the flow and ebb [03:27.20]Of life in the garden [03:30.35]But Michael has pardoned [03:34.44]Us for he sees [03:37.24]That really he's free [03:40.57]And there's nothing to mend [03:43.46]For his wings are not broken [03:49.10]And they in their wisdom say [03:51.76]'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' [03:59.05]They've seen the signs, but Michael feels fine inside the garden.
