Safe In My Garden
(John Phillips)

Safe in my garden,
An ancient flower grows.
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room and its perfume
Being such that it's causing me to swoon.
Could it be we were hot-wired
Late one night while very tired
They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it.
With a bottle in each hand, too late to try to understand.
We don't care where it lands - we just throw it.
Somebody takes us away...
Somebody takes us away...
Safe in my garden,
An ancient flower grows
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room and it's perfume
Being such that it's causing me to swoon.
When you go out in the street,
So many hassles with the heat;
No one there can fill your desire.
Cops out with the megaphones,
Tellin' people stay inside their homes.
Man, can't they see the world's on fire?
Somebody take us away...take us away...
Safe in our garden,
An ancient flower grows.
And the scent from its nature...
Slowly squares my room.
Take us away...take us away...

Wonderful! Well done! Thank you for featuring one of their most beautiful and powerful songs, from an album that even the group members underrated: THE PAPAS & THE MAMAS.

Michelle is a great singer. She always was. For what a perfectionist John Phillips was, there is no way he would have had her in his groups if she couldn't deliver the goods. Very often, I find myself wishing that JP had arranged for Michelle just to sing the higher parts...Cass really has trouble hitting the notes on some of the songs.
