John Lithgow - Garden Song

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2056291
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless those seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down

And pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
'Cause the time is close at hand
And rain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
And tune my body and my brain
To the music from the land

Oh, inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someonе bless those seeds I sow
Someonе warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down
So, plant your rows straight and long
Season them with cheerful songs
And Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
An old crow watching hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden, I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

Oh, inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless those seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Till the rain comes tumbling down
