leon rosselson - garden of stone lyrics
winter is silent
the birds have all flown
echoes and shadows of times i have known
watching the wind as i sit here alone
here i am safe in my garden of stone
i have built towers, i have built palaces
i have robbed oceans of their wealth
giant wheels are turning where i have had power
i have dug treasure from the earth
echoes and shadow of times i have known
watching the wind as i sit here alone
walls within walls ‘round the things that i own
no one can enter my garden of stone
i have planted empires where deserts were
armies have fought at my command
i have seen men follow me, calling my name
begging for favours at my hand
watching the wind as i sit here alone
walls within walls ‘round the things that i own
death cannot enter and time is unknown
nothing can change in my garden of stone
no wind can shake my marble monument
my flowers of stone can never fade
silent are the statues that follow me now
fixed in their motionless parade
walls within walls ‘round the things that i own
death cannot enter and time is unknown
here i will sit like a king on my throne
lord of the world in my garden of stone
