I have been up all night translating the new Indonesian Mining Law. There is a reason for this madness, money. That got me thinking, "show me the money" and Jerry Maguire, and ultimately the Bruce Springsteen song from the soundtrack, Secret Garden.
I had not heard the song for some time, but the other week I bought a Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits album and this was one of the songs on it. I really like the song. The words are worth following in order to really get a feel for what the secret garden is all about.
You can view the song here or you can watch the embedded version that I have included here. They are different versions.
The lyrics of the song are:
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
There's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
And she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay a million miles away
