Snow Patrol - The Garden Rules Lyrics






There's the river there's your house and there's the church
And there's us years ago
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
That's what you always said

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you

You would call the garden rules out like commands
And we would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
And puncture the pretend
Then we would chase our tails
Until the sun forgot to shine
And our parents called our names
'Til just you and I were left

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you

From your house we walk the river
To the church by the silent fields
Amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you
As he's looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss
On my quickly heating cheek

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you

    There's the river there's your house and there's the church
    And there's us years ago
    Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
    Is where we'd hide ourselves
    Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that
    These are the garden rules, that's what you always said
    Oh, you'll never know, how much I love you so
    Oh, you will never know, how much I love you
    You would call the garden rules out like commands
    And we would all obey
    But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
    And puncture the pretend
    Then we would chase our tails, until the sun forgot to shine
    And our parents called our names, 'til just you and I were left
    Oh, you'll never know, how much I love you so
    Oh, you will never know, how much I love you

    Oh, you'll never know, how much I love you so
    Oh, you will never know, how much I love you
    Oh, you'll never know, how much I love you so
    Oh, you will never know, how much I love you

    T.... K....

    Superb but most radio stns. have their weird little musical shows and what category would this fit? SP is so freaking amazing, and almost symphonic.

  31. s.... ....

    I thought I hated this song, but it turns out I just didn't like how country the female vocals make it sound on the album track. I really love this version. I can't go back to the album version after hearing this.

  32. O.... C....

    Maybe is his a inner empaty... Many time I feel like I´would be He... Like He would singing my story...

    To have a voice such as the one Lightbody possesses. Dream.

  38. d.... ....

    His smile at 3:53 just melts my heart.

  39. t.... m....

    This song is just so beautifully written, sung, everything! I love the girl's voice and the choir in the album version. Snow patrol is running in my veins, feeding me with such art. It's painfully beautiful! How could you do this to me?!!!
