SONG:Whose Garden Was This?

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the whose garden was this? album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Whose garden was this
it must have been lovely
did it have flowers
i¡¯ve seen pictures of flowers
and i¡¯d love to have smelled one
Whose river was this
you say it ran freely
blue was it¡¯s colour
and i¡¯ve seen blue in some pictures
and i¡¯d love to have been there
Tell me again, i need to know
the forest had trees, the meadows were green
the oceans were blue
and birds really flew
can you swear that it¡¯s true
Whose grey sky was this
or was it a blue one
you say they were breezes
i¡¯ve heard records of breezes
and i¡¯d love to have felt one
Tell me again, i need to know
the forest had trees, the meadows were green
the oceans were blue
and birds really flew
can you swear that it¡¯s true
Whose garden was this
it must have been lovely
did it have flowers
i¡¯ve seen pictures of flowers
and i¡¯d love to have smelled one
Tell me again, i need to know
tell me again, i need to know
tell me again, i need to know
