Take me outside, sit in a green garden, Nobody out there, but it’s okay now Bathe in the sunlight, the money frame falls, Take me outside, sit in a green garden And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly High as a tree tall and down again With my back down, taking my shoes off, Walk on a carpet, of green velvet Dance in my garden like we used to, Dance in my garden like we used to Take me outside, sit in a green garden, Nobody out there, but it’s okay now Bathe in the sunlight, the money frame falls, Take me outside, sit in a green garden I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go Take me outside, sit in a green garden Take me outside, sit in a green garden And I’ll fly on the wings of a butterfly High as a tree tall and down again. Put my back down, taking my shoes off, Walking a carpet of green velvet Dance in my garden like we used to, Dance in my garden like we used to Take me outside, take me outside, Take me outside, sit in a green garden I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go I’ll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I’ll go
