Backyard – Andy Gordon

A tangled web of undergrowth
The water gurgles by
Nestled in between two sighs of love
A wholly warming space

Just over the hill now
Along a bumpy ridge
A place I’ve been too many times
A creek and broken bridge

A constant source of wonder, could I fly that high?
I’ve been out here all morning staring at the sky

It’s a sunny day in my backyard
It’s never been this hard

Now you want your old couch back
You’re gonna start anew
You got a brand new lover
Who’s doing things for you
And can you have the table
And the cutlery set too
He’s doing things for you
I couldn’t learn to do

It’s a sunny day in my backyard
Just a normal day in my backyard
It’s never been so hard.
