Vernie’s Garden by Melodie Yvonne

A move from Wells to Vernie’s garden’s
just the place to start restarting
It’s the kind of place that finds you,
gots the kind of love that binds you
It’s a home and it’s a song
that helps you move your life along
And if you keep it simple, stupid,
this home warms your heart like Cupid

Now’s the time for me to move on
down to Vernie’s place I’m goin’
Everything I’ve ever wanted’s
right back where my love first started

It’s the now, and it’s the echo
of a life I just can’t let go
And I really wouldn’t want to
walk away from Vernie’s garden
So I pack my stuff and head down
to North 16th, and my heart pounds
‘Cause my load is kinda heavy,
but I’m way passed good and ready

Now’s the time for me to move on
down to Vernie’s place I’m goin’
Everything I’ve ever wanted’s
right back where my love first started

Now’s the time for me to move on
down to Vernie’s place I’m goin’
Everything I’ve ever wanted’s
right back there in Vernie’s garden
