Flowers Won't Grow In Garden of Stone

(Bucky Jones / Bob McDill)



Could it be our love wasn't planted deep enough

Or could it be we just didn't try

Looking back we see, so much that we left undone

We should have known it would wither and die.



Flowers won't grow in gardens of stone

The ground must be tended but we left it alone

The seeds that we scattered are all parched and blown

Flowers wont grow in gardens of stone.



Thinking 'bout it now, it was only pride I know

There was so much that we wouldn't give

Both of us in time, took what might have been a home

And made it a place where nothing could live.



Flowers wont grow in gardens of stone

The ground must be tended but we left it alone

The seeds that we scattered are all parched and blown

Flowers wont grow in gardens of stone...
