Carry the key to unlock the gate
push it open
go inside the garden
and walk along the path...
Don't worry about the fork in the road, take a right,
and go past the old haunted willow.
Take a deep breath, fear isn't welcomed here,
the demons can sence it,
so push your emotions deep inside.
Take a little river raft upon the water,
paddle until you can paddle no more,
you've almost made it there.
Follow the red roses to wherever they take you
but beware, they all have thorns...
Let the light guide you,
and the scent of the pear blossoms,
and the taste of apples in the air,
and the touch of the sandy ground,
and the sound of me playing my lonely music...
Carry the key to unlock the gate
push it open
go inside the garden...
And you're almost to my heart, my dear.
