about

This song was inspired by a speech given by my girlfriend at a wedding for one of her best friends. The bride and groom in their courtship spent many portions of their relationship long distance, and she wrote that they tended a garden of their love three thousand miles wide. The image blossomed (pun intended) in my mind as when she shared the event with me we were also separated by ocean, sea and land and I missed her desperately.

lyrics

Tending a garden
Three thousand miles wide
Flowers that blossom
In my minds eye
I can still see you
No matter how far
Grow this together wherever you are

You are there when I lay my head to sleep
In my dreams these miles don't mean a thing
I'll meet you there
We've got all night
To share

Seeds that you planted
Are growing in me
Figs that you savor
Sweet as can be
Tending a Garden
Three thousand miles wide
Vines all around us
We'll make some good wine

You are there when I lay my head to sleep
In my dreams these miles don't mean a thing
I'll meet you there
We've got all night
To share
