How Does Your Garden Grow?

You and your big ideas 
Taking your time with me 
Faithful as I faltered 
Steady as I stumbled 
A lifeline tossed in a boiling sea 

Whose dream was that - 
To parcel up my soul and pass the hat? 
That's not a style that suits you much 
You lack that tender touch 
That brings them back for more 
Drove your old man out the door 
When you tried it on before 

You and your big ideas 
And now that the scars don't show 
How Does Your Garden Grow?
