Cool of the Day

Lyrics as sung by kith&kin
My lord he said unto me Do you like my garden so fair Well you may live in this garden If you keep my grasses green And I'll return in the cool of the day Now is the cool of the day Now is the cool of the day Oh this earth is a garden The garden of my lord And he walks in his garden In the cool of the day Then my lord she said unto me Do you like my garden so pure Well you may live in this garden If you keep my waters clean And I'll return in the cool of the day [Chorus] Then my lord he said unto me Do you like my garden so free Well you may live in this garden If you keep my people free And I'll return in the cool of the day [Chorus]
