Kew Gardens

The air was cool on lily pools, Hazy lazy, And here and there he'd stop to stare Admiring all the flowers, Wandering round for hours. The sun was warm across the lawn Scented blended He saw her linger And With her finger open up a rose, Standing on tip toes Suddenly the rain came flurrying, Sending the two of them scurrying, Helter skelter for the shelter And feeling bolder in the big pagoda, He gently enquired her name, And they waited till the sunshine came. Kew gardens And for a while The griffin smiled, Kindly, blindly, Till the evening bell broke the spell, And sadly they said goodbye And one of the griffins cried. In Kew Gardens. --- Kew Gardens - Ralph McTell
