C#5 F5
i will sail to the far shore ,
D#5 F#5
and i will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair ,
C#5 F5
and i will turn the soil with my hands ,
D#5 F#5
and i will make my home there .
C#5 G#5 C#5 F#5
my garden will grow so high .
C#5 G#5 C#5 F#5
my garden will grow so high .
C#5 G#5
that i will be completely hidden .

i will go where i will go ,
and i will jettison all dead weight ,
and i will use these words for kindling ,
and i will sleep by the garden gate .
my garden will grow so high .
my garden will grow so high .
that i will be completely hidden .
