Lyrics - Thorn Tree in The Garden by Eric Clapton

By bobby whitlock
There’s a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what
I mean,
And
I hate to hurt your feelings but it’s not the way it seems,’cause
I miss her.
She’s the only girl
I’ve cared for, the only one
I’ve known.
And no one ever shared more love than we’ve known.
And
I miss her.
But it all seems so strange to see,
That she’d never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye.
And if she winds up walking the streets,
Loving every other man she meets
Who’ll be the one to answer why?
Lord,
I hope it’s not me, it’s not me.
And if
I never see her face again,
I never hold her hand.
And if she’s in somebody’s arms,
I know
I’ll understand
But
I miss that girl.
I still miss that girl.
Maybe someday soon, somewhere.
