about

Inspired by some time in hospital I had around 2014. Its instrumental passages feature lush strings arranged by myself and played by Lucy McLuckie and Hazel Watson combine with the intricate guitar work of Lobelia Lawson, who I wrote the song with. It's about the garden that I found just off the hospital grounds where I would sneak off to in search of some peace and humanity during my convalescence.

lyrics

I kept a secret
It’s just for me
When the nurses come looking
I’m never where I should be

In Emily’s garden I am by myself
Emily’s garden’s where I am myself

It’s nothing private (down)
But it’s something personal (up)
This place I go and stay (breathe) to stow away
A little corner of the world

In Emily’s garden I am by myself
Emily’s garden’s where I am myself
Once round verse chords then…
Middle Instrumental

Keep it between us
A place for you and me
The nurses can keep looking
We know they'll never see

In Emily’s Garden we can be ourselves
Emily’s Garden’s where we are ourselves
Once round verse chords then…
Outro Instrumental - half the length

In Emily’s Garden we can be ourselves
