17. Ahhhh, yes - "In the Garden"

"It's a simple little ditty that doesn't say much" said a pastor of our congregation many years ago who preferred the good ol' Texan GOP fearsome evangelical fire and brimstone sermon delivery on the doorstep of my youthful mind...so negative! I also never wanted to march off to war like a soldier! I finally determined that, if this relationship was so personal, the less said in the company of others was lots better. A solitary walk in the beauty of nature was always a more positive way to spend one's time.

I go to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the joy we shared, as we tarried there
No other has ever known...

Chorus: As you said 'bout Andy.
