"The Garden Gate" lyrics

Brown eyed girl, precious flower
From your slumber, awake
We have come to this fateful hour
And our love cannot wait

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Don't tell your mother, don't tell your father
We both know it's far too late
When we fly, they won't come after
They will know our love is great

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate, all right

You are sweet as you are tender
You are wise beyond your years
You are a jewel amongst the cinders
So don't shed a sorry tear

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate
