and he was walking in the garden 
and he was walking in the night 
and he was singing a sad love song 
and he was praying for his life 
and the stars came out around him 
he was thinking of his sins 
and he's looking at his song-bird 
and he's looking at his wings 
there inside the garden 
came another with his lips 
said, 'Won't you come and be my lover?' 
'Let me give you a little kiss' 
and he came, knelt down before him 
and fell upon his knees 
said, 'I will give you gold and mountains 
if you stay awhile with me' 
and there was trouble taking place. 
there inside the garden 
they kissed, and the sun rose 
and he walked a little further 
and he found he was alone 
and the wind, it gathered round him 
he was thinking of his sins 
he was looking at his song-bird 
and he was looking at his wings 
and there was trouble taking place.
