THE GARDEN
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

I woke up one morning
To a crystal castle all alone
Looked outside
And there lay before me
A garden of dreams all my own

Barefoot I walked by its sparkling stream
Smiled to the fish swimming there
Said "Hello"
To the frog on his rock
Flew with the birds in the air

EACH MAN BUILDS HIS OWN GARDEN
BY WHAT HIS HEART SAYS IS TRUE
AND MINE IS SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME
CAN I TRUST IT WITH YOU?

Well, my love, here's the key to the garden
Tread soft as you travel its lands
Walk with bare feet
Say "Hello" to the frog
And drink from the stream with your hands

I remember you smiled, and said
"You know, I've seen this before."
And the wind sang a love song so sweet
The flowers bowed down
Their heads as you passed
And the grass sparkled under your feet

EACH MAN BUILDS HIS OWN GARDEN
BY WHAT HIS HEART SAYS IS TRUE
AND MINE IS SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME
BUT IT SEEMS I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU

We reached the end of the garden
You said, "You know, this will work out just fine!"
"The reason it seemed
So familiar to me,
Is that yours is built right next to mine!"

TOGETHER WE BUILT THE SAME GARDEN
THE VERY SAME STREAM RUNNING THROUGH
AND I THINK THE WALLS BETWEEN US SHOULD FALL
SO THAT THERE'LL BE ONE GARDEN FOR TWO

EACH MAN BUILDS HIS OWN GARDEN
BY WHAT HIS HEART SAYS IS TRUE
AND I THANK THE STARS THAT WATCH OVER ME
BECAUSE OURS IS A GARDEN FOR TWO
OURS IS A GARDEN FOR TWO

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 30 fans who also own “The Garden”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

Harvest Season - Second Cutting

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn
