Dissident in the Garden of Love
©2013 Credence Found ASCAP

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;

A solemn broken tree in the midst,
Where there used to be green.

I saw the garden was filled with graves,
and tombs where flowers should be;

(chorus)
And I was won over to you,
Everything - you said was true!
And I was won over to you…

The priest in black gowns
were walking their rounds,
They bound me with briars and thorns,
and gave me a bleeding crown!

(bridge)
The gates of the Chapel were shut,
And they said “Thou shalt not”
So I returned… to the Garden of Love!

(solo)

So I returned to the Garden of Love!
So I returned to the Garden of Love!
So I returned to the Garden of Love!
So I returned to the Garden of Love!
