Paradise Found

about

Written by: Gretchen Peters

lyrics

I got a fine house, I got a deep well
I'm a woman who knows how to keep to herself
When your need is strong and the hour is late
Baby you got the key to my garden gate

Honeysuckle clings to an old stone wall
Just like Eden before the fall
From dust we come and dust we'll be
Love's the only thing gonna set us free

So open the doors and come inside
Nectar's in the blossom and the bee's in the hive
Oh daddy won't you ease on down
East of Eden, Paradise found

I worship no idol I seek no god
I don't believe in no holy jihad
I don't believe in original sin
I believe in the heat underneath our skin

When the Great Correction finally comes
Goin' back to the garden where we come from
Gonna sow our seed in the good sweet ground
And let our love come tumblin’ down
