Song Layout Intro (Riff 1) Verse 1 (Riff 2) I am walking up To the place in the light And the things I see With the starlight sight In the dance of the fires In the flames I see Under raven skies She will sleep with me. Pre-Chorus (Rhythm fig.1) And I need her know And I need you... Chorus Welcome to my Garden And what do ya see? Welcome to my Garden Do ya still see me? (Riff 1) Verse 2 (Riff 2) I am looking through Through the dance of the trees I experience What a sure man(?) sees And I return within I return with sight Under raven skies I will sleep tonight Pre-Chorus (Rhythm fig.1) And I need her now And I need you Chorus (same as before) Riff 1 Guitar Solo Interlude Strong Pre-chorus Chorus Outro
