[Verse 1]
A
I saw the beauty of the harbor
A
And the stillness of the water
Bm A
I wondered if our daughter could also see it
A
And you were howling in the corner
A
While the doctor asked us questions
Bm A
The name we chose is all you kept repeating
[Bridge]
E
The drive home was unbearable
F#m
The baby seat held nothing but a feeling
Bm E
Our greatest joy had come into the world
A
The same day she would leave it
[Verse 2]
A
My eyes became a window
A
You were looking through for comfort
Bm
Like an animal in winter, seeking shelter
A
And when we pulled into the driveway
A
Of the home we built together
Bm A
It felt so far from the plans that we conceived
[Bridge]
E
The door cried when it opened
F#m
And every wall sounded like it was grieving
Bm E
An echo in the darkness said you're home
A
And in the Garden of Leaving
F#m C#m D E
[Verse 3]
A
As the lights began to flicker
A
Only briefly apparent
Bm A
The time between each flash became a mirror
A
And standing in the kitchen
A
With a hundred miles between us
Bm A
Wondering if we'd ever try again
[Bridge]
E
Will I ever lose this part of me?
F#m
Is it circumstance or irony repeating?
Bm E
Knowing we were born and forced to stay
A
In the Garden of Leaving
