[Verse 1]
This was a lovely place
People say a perfect place
Whatever it is, he needs it now
Whatever the poor man sets his heart on

[Verse 2]
Those songs we sang so well
What we lost and how we fell
Whatever it is, he needs it now
Whatever the poor man sets his heart on

[Chorus]
And so we learn there's no return
Only journeys to depart on
Salt and dust, oil and rust
It's still the only garden

[Verse 3]
I'm no Adam, you're no Eve
Don't look back and never grieve
A wasted seed, a broken reed
It's what the poor man sets his heart on

[Chorus]
And so we learn there's no return
Only journeys to depart on
Salt and dust, oil and rust
It's still the only garden
And so we learn there's no return
Only journeys to depart on
Salt and dust, oil and rust
It's still the only garden
It's still the only garden
We never left the garden
