Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Mm

Meet me where the willows lean

Past the wall of ivy

Nobody knows our names out here

Soft as folded paper

You breathe low

I hold still

Pre-Chorus

Lanterns in the hawthorn

Leaning like a bow

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Verse 2

Little bells along the fence

Counting every hour

Your hand drifts across my sleeve

Slowly like a river

Twilight hums

We stay small

Pre-Chorus

Lanterns in the hawthorn

Leaning like a bow

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Bridge

Tender and temporary

Golden and gone

Softly we hide it

Softly we hold on

(Hold on)

(Hold on)

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Instrumental Interlude

Verse 3

Mm

Moonlight on the garden wall

Pale as milk and honey

Every petal holds a vow

Fragile as a promise

You hum low

I lean near

Pre-Chorus

Lanterns in the hawthorn

Leaning like a bow

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Verse 4

Mm

Footsteps fading on the moss

Slowly disappearing

If the morning takes you first

Leave the gate unlatched for me

Breathe out soft

Stay awhile

Pre-Chorus

Lanterns in the hawthorn

Leaning like a bow

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Bridge

Half asleep and half in bloom

Somewhere between the two

If they ask us where we've been

Say the garden

Say the garden

(Say the garden)

Instrumental Interlude

Verse 5

Mm

Sparrow on the iron gate

Watching us like someone

If the world should come to call

Let it wait outside the door

Close your eyes

Count to ten

Pre-Chorus

Lanterns in the hawthorn

Leaning like a bow

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Chorus

Keep it quiet keep it ours

A garden under glass

Keep it quiet keep it ours

Nobody can find us

Nobody can know

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Mm-hmm

La la la la

Mm

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Stay

Stay

(Stay)

La la la la

Mm
