Mary Hopkin - Kew Gardens Lyrics
The air was cool on lily pools,Hazy lazy,And here and there he'd stop to stareAdmiring all the flowers,Wandering round for hours.The sun was warm across the lawnScented blendedHe saw her lingerAnd With her finger open up a rose,Standing on tip toesSuddenly the rain came flurrying,Sending the two of them scurrying,Helter skelter for the shelterAnd feeling bolder in the big pagoda,He gently enquired her name,And they waited till the sunshine came.Kew gardensAnd for a whileThe griffin smiled,Kindly, blindly,Till the evening bell broke the spell,And sadly they said goodbyeAnd one of the griffins cried.In Kew Gardens.
