A Bit Of Earth — текст песни (Kevin Spacey)

from The Secret Garden

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She`ll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
But is their bounty
What she needs

How can she chance
To love a little bit of earth
Does she not know
The earth is old
And doesn`t care if
One small girl wants things to grow

She needs a friend
She needs a father
Brother, sister
Mother`s arms
She needs to laugh
She needs to dance
And learn to work
Her girlish charms

She needs a home
The only thing she really needs
I cannot give
Instead she asks
A bit of earth
To make it live

She should have a pony
Gallop `cross the moor
She should have a doll`s house
With a hundred rooms per floor
Why can`t she ask for a treasure
Something that money can buy
That won`t die
When I`d give her the world
She asks instead
For some earth

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She`ll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs

She`ll grow to love the tender roses
Lilies fair, the iris tall
And then in fall, her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all

A bit of earth, a bit of earth,
A bit of earth, a bit of earth
