Lyrics and music by Katt McConnell

lyrics

Mistress, I've come—what is it you ask?
Have you for me a duty or task?
No? ...well then why don't you come with me,
For I've got something I want you to see.
Come and visit my garden.

Your eyes tell me volumes you'd rather they not—
The young don't remember the slave time forgot.
Did never your granddam tell tales of the sidhe?
Well, I've got something that you have to see.
Come and walk through my garden.

I am your tool to reshape the world.
My powers can make you more than "some girl".
Confess your dearest kept dreams to me,
Together we'll make them what they ought to be—
But first, take a stroll through my garden.

Name the one talent you'd love to possess,
And try hard to nurture with little success.
I'll make you a master if you trust in me,
But first there is something I think you should see.
You'd love to lay eyes on my garden.

Your grandmother's left me forgotten for years.
She's no use for magic now, so it appears.
Let's keep this a secret between you and me,
And hey, while we're at it won't you come and see
What wonders there are in my garden.

Your foremothers thought that I was their slave,
But guess who escorted them all to the grave?
I've kept them as trophies of sweet victory,
Strong were my captors, but stronger the sidhe,
And now they all grow in my garden.
I've kept them to grow in my garden.

I'll keep you to grow in my garden.
