Derek Thorn Tree in the Garden song lyrics

There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean

And I hate to hurt your feelings but it's not the way it seems

'Cause I miss her

She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known

And no one ever shared more love than we've known

And I miss her

But it all seems so strange to see

'Cause she'd never turn her back on me

And leave without a last goodbye

And if she winds up walking the streets

Loving every other man she meets

Who'll be the one to answer why

Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me

And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand

And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand

But I miss that girl

I still miss that girl

Maybe someday soon, somewhere
