A haunting folk style song about long term love and redemption

lyrics

The Growing Season ( words & music by Abigail Joffe)

You’ve made a bed in the place we always planted
Cleared the weeds and brambles away
Seeds of hope like the plots our children started
Bidding us to go another day

Husband, how does your garden grow?
Who’s that pretty maid, standing all alone?
Does the sound of wedding bells, ring like an empty shell?
Tell me husband, how does your garden grow?

Remember how we used to set and sow in such abundance
How peas and beans and sunflowers grew
Our September harvest laid out our budding romance
Nurtured through the wind and rain and snow

Husband, how does your garden grow?
Who’s that pretty maid, standing all alone?
Does the sound of wedding bells, ring like an empty shell?
Tell me husband, how does your garden grow?

I bore the winter storms alone this year
All through December
