THE RIGHT GARDEN

(Lee Holdridge / Molly-Ann Leikin / Jane Olivor (m & l) )

As sung by Jane Olivor 1978 < Stay The Night >

You're nowhere now, barely gettin' through
Each time you failed took some part of you
It made you feel that you would never succeed
But soon you'll have the magic you need.

You've got to find the right garden to grow in
Where the right kind of raindrops will fall
And the hope in your heart's comin' from knowin'
Someday you'll find it after all.

Those deep sad eyes see a trail of tears
You've come so close, so many years
Your dusty shoes don't know which path to pursue
But on you go, as if you always knew.

You've got to find the right garden to grow in
Where the right kind of raindrops will fall
And the hope in your heart's comin' from knowin'
Someday you'll find it after all.

The wind will change as it has before
You'll face the dark and try once more
And when the clouds you'll see, the sun streaming down
And you will stand on your own special ground.

Then you'll have found the right garden to grow in
Where the right kind of raindrops will fall
And the hope in your heart's comin' from knowin'
Someday you'll find it after all.

Someday you'll find it after all.

Jane Olivor was warmly followed by her fans throughout 
her performing years (1970s until 2009, which encompassed 
a 10 year hiatus). During that time, her work comprised 
10 albums, not a large number as compared to other artists, 
however they showcased a surprising poignancy, emotion and 
vulnerability in her crisp, clear voice. Many who attended 
these cabarets felt that she had great stage presence, a 
touching style and a very personable way of connecting with 
her audiences, that endeared her to them forever. It has 
been said that Jane was one of those unique performers that, 
had you not been a Jane Olivor fan at the outset of her 
performance, it was impossible that you would not be, by the 
time she was finished. One of the USA's national newspapers 
referred to her intimate cabaret appearances as 'love ins'.
