One of my 'never tired of hearing' VM songs! Kudos to Derek Bell for this. Given his background with the Chieftains (great musicians but non-blues and non-soul) I would not have expected him to be able to add the little Drinkwater flourishes so effectively as he does here. However I am now going to go to the NYC 1989 version with Neil and Georgie Fame ... the 'Main Course'
In the Garden The fields are always wet with rain After a summer shower When I saw you standing, standing in the garden In the garden wet with rain You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow As we watched the petals fall down to the ground And as I sat beside you I felt the great 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' against your face The 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 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 'No 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 Son and the Holy Ghost In the garden, In the garden wet with rain 'No guru, no method, no teacher, Just you and I and nature and the Father In the garden'

In the Garden
The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
When I saw you standing, standing in the garden
In the garden wet with rain
You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
As we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as I sat beside you
I felt the great 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' against your face
The 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
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
'No 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 Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden,
In the garden wet with rain
'No guru, no method, no teacher,
Just you and I and nature and the Father
In the garden'
庭にて
畑はいつも雨に濡れている
夏の夕立のあと
あなたが庭に立っているのを見たとき
雨に濡れた庭で
あなたは悲しそうに涙を拭った
花びらが地面に落ちるのを見ながら
私はあなたのそばに座り
あの日の大きな悲しみを感じた
庭で
そしてある日、あなたは家に戻ってきた
あなたは歓喜に包まれた生き物だった
あなたは魂の鍵を持っていた。
あの日、あなたは帰ってきた
庭に
懐かしい夏のそよ風が君の顔に吹きつけた
神の光があなたの表情を照らしていた
あなたはすみれ色だった
父と母のそばに座り
庭で
夏のそよ風が君の顔に吹きつけた
すみれ色の君は夏らしい言葉を大切にしていた
首筋から背筋にかけての震えが
太陽の光と自然の中で
庭で
あなたはトランス状態になった
あなたの子供のような視覚はとても素晴らしくなった
愛する教会の鐘の音が聞こえ
そして永遠の夏の青春の存在を感じた
庭で
それがあなたの頬に軽く触れたとき
あなたは生まれ変わり、顔を赤らめた。
私たちは軽く触れ合った
そして私たちは心の中にキリストの存在を感じた
庭で
そして私はあなたに向かって言った
教祖もメソッドも教師もいない、
ただ、あなたと私、そして自然と父なる神さまだけ
庭で
教祖もメソッドも教師もいない、
ただ、あなたと私と自然と
そして父と子と聖霊。
雨に濡れた庭で
教祖もメソッドも教師もいない、
ただ、あなたと私と自然が
そして父と子と聖霊が
庭で
雨に濡れた庭で
教祖もメソッドも教師もいない、
ただ、あなたと私と自然と父とが
庭の中で
Enhanced audio, I like it!
Carrying those notes was effortless for him at that time.
