I don't why I
Pulled my hand
Away
I didn't want to
Oh why do the
Leaves of the
Mulberry tree
Whisper differently
Now
And why is the
Nightingale singing
At noon on the
Mulberry bough
For some most
Mysterious reason
This isn't the
Garden I know
No it's paradise now
That was only a
Garden
A moment ago
Take my hand
I'm a stranger
In paradise
All lost in a
Wonderland
A stranger
In paradise
If I stand
Starry-eyed
That's a danger
In paradise
For mortals who
Stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the
Common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance
That you'll care
Won't you answer
The fervent prayer
Of a stranger in
Paradise
Don't send me in
Dark despair
From all that I
Hunger for
But open your
Angel's arms
To the stranger
In paradise
And tell him
That he need' be
A stranger
No more
You say
You say you're
A Gardener
What kind of
Flowers should I
Plant along the
Fence
I must go
In a moment
Will you meet me
Here again
This evening
I thought
The hyacinths
Or perhaps
Oleanders
At moonrise
Here in the
Garden
Yes
Yes of course
You won't forget
You won't fail me
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the
Common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I'll hang suspended
Until I know
Till the moment
I know
There's a chance
That you'll care
There's a chance
That you'll care
Won't you answer
The fervent prayer
Of a stranger in
Paradise
Don't send me in
Dark despair
From all that I
Hunger for
But open your
Angel's arms
To the stranger
In paradise
And tell me
That I need' be
A stranger
No more
