Lyrics Christy Moore – The Gardener

The Gardener rises with the sun
He knows there’s work to be done
The reason for every season

He knows when to dig in deep

He makes his bed with care
And sows his seed with love

The Gardener has a tale to tell
Feed the ground and water well
When planting out he’ll face the south

He is the patient one
Mother Nature’s loving son
The Robin is a friend of his

And when the day is done
He’ll smile and say … wait til summer comes

And Summer comes and then we’ll see just what he’s done
When blooms of every colour blossom in the sun
The signs of all his care and effort are displayed
And all his time and patience is repaid

The Gardener rises with the sun
He knows there’s work to be done
The reason for every season
