Lady Ishtar In Her Garden

Steve Kilbey/Gareth Koch

Appears On:

Lady Ishtar in her garden
With the snakes and cats
With her sandals on

Well the flowers bloom so sweet this evening
Stars spin on
On into the night

And she takes the ripest fruit there is
For her supper
Ethiopian wine

We have journeyed through a desert
It was hot, it was black
It has spirits there

Now she lays upon the soft grass
In moon silver rays
As she dreams of me

But I am lost within myself
In my father's house
Where the horses grazed

Oh my goddess in the darkness
With her softest touch
With the softest touch
With her grace and heat

I have traveled by a river
There were crocodiles
And the silver flash

Lady Ishtar in her garden listen to me
You are everything
You are everything
