Lyrics - There Was A Man Of Double Deed (w: Anon) by And Also The Trees

There was a man of double deed
Who sowed his garden full of seed
When the seed began to grow'
Twas like a garden full of snow
When the snow began to melt'
Twas like a ship without a bell
When the ship began to sail'
Twas like a bird without a tail
When the bird began to fly'
Twas like an eagle on the sky
When the sky began to roar'
Twas like a lion at my door
When the door began to crack'
Twas like a stick across my back
When my back began to smart'
Twas like a penknife in my heart
When my heart began to bleed'
Twas death, and death, and death indeed
