I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you first 
he'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work 
and like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook 
I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you 

at last, at last 
bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last 

you were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen 
your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings 
and like the dawn you woke the world inside of me 
you were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you 

and you will surely be the death of me 
but how could I have known?
