Lyrics
[Chorus] Home was a green garden
Home was a wild kingdom
The creek is dry now
The hills are silent now
[Verse 1] Searching for the cedar groves
Stumps remain like skeletal soldiers in the red clay
Shadows of a forest
Stretching over nothing
[Pre-Chorus] Everything has turned to sand
Every bird has fled this land
I am a ghost in a garden of salt
[Chorus] Home was a green garden
Home was a wild kingdom
The creek is dry now
The hills are silent now
[Verse 2] Wolves don't howl on this broken ridge
Empty plains go on for miles under a hollow sun
Cold wind biting
Cutting through my jacket
[Pre-Chorus] Everything has turned to sand
Every bird has fled this land
I am a ghost in a garden of salt
[Chorus] Home was a green garden
Home was a wild kingdom
The creek is dry now
The hills are silent now
[Post-Chorus] I cry
I cry
I cry
Walking through the waste
[Bridge] Ancestors watch from the grey peaks
They see the fences
They see the scars
They see the silence
[Chorus] Home was a green garden
Home was a wild kingdom
The creek is dry now
The hills are silent now
