No Guru, No method, No teacher, In the garden wet with rain.


The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
When I saw you standin'
Standin' in the garden

In the garden
Wet with rain


You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
And we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as I sat beside you
I felt theGreat sadness that day


In the garden


And then one day you came back home
You were a creature all in rapture
You had the key to your soul
And you did open
That day you came back

To the garden


The olden summer breeze was blowin' gainst your face
AlrightThe light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine
And you were a violet colour as you
Sat beside your father and your mother


In the garden


The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden


And you went into a trance
Your childlike vision became so fine
And we heard the bells within the church
We loved so much
And felt the presence of the youth of eternal summers


In the garden


Alright


And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
Born again you were and blushed
And we touched each other lightly
And we felt the presence of the Christ within our hearts


In the garden


And I turned to you and I said
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father in the garden


ListenNo guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden
Wet with rain


No Guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature and the father and the holy ghost


In that garden,
in the garden,
wet with rain

Yeah.


Alright.


No Guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature and the father


In the garden

Those lyrics are beautiful, Trooper. I'm going to try to find this on youtube.

Van Morrison is my favorite singer. I have all of his albums on iTunes.

I just typed "iTunse". That has a New York look to it, don't youse think?

Anyhow, AI is on and it looks like the two guys from Milwaukee (bartender guy and dead wife guy) performed very well.

Paula is behaving like she is wearing a concealed vibrator.

Trooper York said...

Mine too Michael H. I have every one of his albums as well.

I remember the first time I went hunting and shot 4 rabbits with my little 410. My Gramps could make a mean rabbit stew. Which was good cause he couldn't hit a barn with a bazooka which explains why I got to hunt when I was 7.

Hoosier Daddy said...

Oh this was a touchy feely good poetic posting. I just saw the rabbit and remembered hunting and stew.

Don't I feel like the asshole who dropped by.

Trooper York said...

No it's not touchy feely. It's a song about Art Shamsky and his dog in the garden as he fingers her nipples in the garden, wet with rain.

dr kill said...

I bet Richie Ashburn never fingered any doggie nipples. Or granted Peter Gammons an interview under any circumstances, especially recent humiliating circumstances.

On the other hand, I'd rather have those elected assholes grilling more major leaguer ass and less saving the nation.

I'll stop being all political now.

If you decide to Google 'doggie nipples'

1. Only 2 of 994,000 entries concern the Canine species.

2. There are a lot of really sick fucks out there, not all of them are Ex-Mets.

Michael Haz said...

@dr kill. You had to tempt me, didn't you. Gah.

blake said...

I don't get it.

The lyric is nice. It's "doggie nipples" I don't get.

Asante Samuel said...

Congratulations, Blake. You're not a Mets fan.

I'm looking for the hidden meaning when I read them backwards.
