lyrics

Moonlight on your garden of thorns
Has torn the stranger's clothes at your door
Like distant trains that tear their way
Through the night and drift away

And men mad with envy circle me
But I hide her where they can't see
Their games are nothing new to me
They can't take what they can't see

Like moonlight on your garden of thorns

Words like bullets shot through my lips
And years of rage flowed through my veins
As she stood naked near the window pane
And the morning light looked in

Now the city sings in hostile hymns
Through your window pouring in
As countless other courting men
Call from your gate again

Like moonlight on your garden of thorns

And she'll wake to see those widows weep
For absent lovers swept off their feet

Now I guard your garden of thorns
Another night she's alone at dawn
Like distant trains that tear their way
Through the night and drift away

Like moonlight on your garden of thorns
