Garden of Manhattan Songtext
von Joe Ely

She walks in the garden of Manhattan
She plants her seeds among the weeds
Where the dreamers all come to fatten
In the Garden of Manhattan
In the Garden of Manhattan

She looks to the In the Garden of Manhattan
To the skies of glass where dreamers pass
On the ferry across from Statten
To the Garden of Manhattan
To the Garden of Manhattan

Look yonder comin′ there's a halo of light
With an angel who′s riding
Through the canyons on a chariot of fire
See there she's coming, coming to relieve us
No one would believe us just like it said in the Bible


She talks to the Garden of Manhattan
With her wagon full of bags she offers her rags
To the people all dressed in satin
In the Garden of Manhattan
In the Garden of Manhattan

She sleeps in the Garden of Manhattan
In a cardboard box on the stairs, like rocks
She dreams in Greek and Latin
In the Garden of Manhattan
In the Garden of Manhattan

Look yonder comin' there′s a halo of light
With an angel who′s riding
Through the canyons on a chariot of fire
See there she's coming, coming to relieve us
No one would believe us just like it said in the Bible

She waits in the Garden of Manhattan
She waits in the wind for her ship to come in
But the hatches have long been battened
In the Garden of Manhattan


She dreams in the Garden of Manhattan
On an island in the blue
She looks through the ruins
For what the hurricane has not flattened
In the Garden of Manhattan
In the Garden of Manhattan
