Flowerfell/Secret Garden

He said
Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Come with me, and you'll be the seventh maid in a row
My answer was laughter, soft as I lowered my head
You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead

Resetting as I was with blossoms in full bloom (blossoms in full bloom)
Never a chance to pause with magic to consume (magic to consume)
A shadow walked behind me offering his hand
But couldn't understand

He said
Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Come with me, and you'll be the seventh maid in a row
My answer was laughter, soft as I lowered my head
You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's already dead

Scattering petals down the road without an end (road without an end)
Left on the battleground for one I called my friend (one I called my friend)
Maybe he loved me as he took me by the hand
And tried to understand

I said
Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Stay with me, I can't see anywhere that we could go
Their answer was laughter, as darkness swallowed them up
One more time, I'll be fine, sometimes kindness is enough

Oh Mary, contrary, how does your garden grow?
Don't leave me, please don't be the seventh maid in a row
My answer, a whisper, soft as he lowered his head
Set them free, I'm sorry, this flower's already dead
