Bobby's off on holiday, Away across the sea
Setting up his easel, A new scene to see
Says that he's had enough, Of standing in the rain
Now he's looking for the good life, With European pain
Did you know your garden's overgrown
And what is shown?
verse 2
Meeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair
He's in touch with the painter's mind And Syd's unflinching stare
Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin
Might take in the colored lights In the city they call sin
He could see The writing on the wall
Ten feet tall
Did you know your garden's overgrown
And what is shown?
Bridge
But oh there are times
He wished the world Would fade just into sight
And oh, the feelings that changed
Were thicker than the brush strokes of fame
Link
verse 3
Now he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain
And when senoritas sing He can hear them say
Did you know your garden's overgrown
And what is shown?
He could see The writing on the wall
Ten feet tall
