Garden by the Sea: An Original Song

 The lyrics to Garden by the Sea most accurately reflect my real life. I wrote this song literally in less than an hour. It’s a folk tune that tells the story of my beloved cat, Bonnie, who died when I was away in Venice, Italy. When I was back home I was sitting on the pink couch where I used to sit with Bonnie and out came this tune. Here’s to you, Bonnie! I would also like to thank Chris Bihuniak of Rock Band Academy Studios for producing this song.

“Stone angels looking down.”

This was the view from our Airbnb in Venice.

Garden by the Sea

By Grace Piper Fields

Sausage, eggs, and bacon

Sunny morning, pretty sky

My cat lounging on the pink couch 

And never leaves my side

I like how the sun comes through the window

And makes patterns on the floor

I wish this could last forever more

You left me when I was in Venice

In a garden by the sea 

I had a silent moment for you and me

Roads made out of water

Stone angels looking down

Tears in my reflection 

And water-colored clouds

I like how the sun comes through the window

And makes patterns on the floor

I wish this could last forever more

You left me when I was in Venice

In a garden by the sea 

I had a silent moment for you and me

A candle burns for you

Inside the basilica 

Ding dong ding dong

My stained glass heart is blue

A heart that breaks is true

Sausage, eggs, and bacon

Sunny morning, pretty sky

My cat lounging on the pink couch 

And never leaves my side
