Well your day has been a long one,
And you’ve given up on tomorrow
The blackbird flew over today,
And he left you with and egg full of sorrow
Well, I don’t know what you’re thinking,
And even less of what to say
And all of my ‘pat-answers’,
They don’t make a difference to you anyway
(Chorus)
But there’s a deeper shade of green
In the garden where He grows
Everything He needs to heal your weary soul
And the river flowing through it,
Hits the dry spot in your throat
But you’re still taking punches, baby,
And you need to learn to roll
Well I’ve been down to the valley,
And I’ve seen the bats at night
Their eyes glowing through the darkness
Is enough to give you an awful fright
Well hold on to love,
Yeah, cuz He will lead you home
And the sun won’t burn your skin there,
and you’ll never need to be alone anymore
(Chorus)
But there’s a deeper shade of green
In the garden where He grows
Everything He needs to heal your weary soul
And the river flowing through it,
Hits the dry spot in your throat
But you’re still taking punches, baby,
And you need to learn to roll
Bridge:
So tell me now, who else you’re gonna run to
When everyone in your house sleeps alone
And they’re just as tired you are now
Oh, can’t you hear as all creation groans
(Chorus)
But there’s a deeper shade of green
In the garden where He grows
Everything He needs to heal your weary soul
And the river flowing through it,
Hits the dry spot in your throat
But you’re still taking punches, baby,
And you need to learn to roll
