    great song.. fun to sing along.. i was driving the other day and listening to Garden.. and I passed by a graveyard. "I will walk with my shadow flag into your garden.. garden of stone.." maybe when he says "garden of stone" he is referring to a graveyard.

    I enjoy the opening lyric "She don't wonder in this place." Killer stuff. If you would like you may indulge in a great version of it right here:

    how come they dont play it anymore? i went to both MSG shows and the jersey one, and of course i wanted to hear every song, but i was really HOPING to hear that one, just to complete my life.

    It's in my top 10 of PJ's. I've always loved it and felt it didn't get the respect it deserved.

    I always thouhgt Garden and Release were the fans favourites from TEN, havent they always been? I know back then when the album came out all the people really into PJ were always saying how legendary those two songs were.

    absolutely a master piece!!! though black and release are my favorites of TEN, Garden would be a close third one... a kick ass song, truly underrated...

    There's a good interpretation of it on theskyiscrape website.
    One of them sounds pretty accurate, about the gadren of stone being a false, pretend world. Check it out...

    LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!

    I remember my first listen to TEN knowing the hits were jeremy, alive, evenflow.. when i heard GARDEN i was blown out of my seat.. classic blues strains and so beautiful.. my fav of of ten for sure..
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    i went to both msg shows, a long island show and some jersey shows and nooo garden. i was REALLY hoping they'd bust it out AT the garden. especially after he read someones sign one of the nights and was like "Garden? Yeah we are at the garden" and the crowd went friggin insane... sigh. theres always next tour!
