Verse 1 + 2

I'm just a gardener at Avenue du Beaumont

Where number 24 was written on the wall.

I love that big old garden, with it's ancient trees

And all those mosquitos suckin' on our knees.

But in that big old garden there's something else I found.

This colourful butterfly flapping around.

This was something else.

Chorus 1

And so I planted a seed,

so strong, for water no need.

And I know, I know it will grow.

But the pace needs to be slow.

Verse 3

This colourful butterfly at Avenue Beaumont,

Living in the garden of number 24,

Needs to flap around a few years longer.

Cause it takes time for her wings to grow stronger.

Chorus 2

Because I've planted a seed.

So strong for water no need.

And I know, I know it will grow.

But the pace needs to be so slow.

I know, I know it will grow.

But the pace can only be so slow.

Verse 4

In a few years at Avenue Beaumont.

My plant will rise above number 24.

And when its flowers are high up in the sky.

Her strong little wings will lift her up high. Lift her up high. High.

End

And then I am just the gardener at Avenue Beaumont,

Where all my pretty flowers are covering the number on the wall.
