New lyrics - July 22, 2006
Genesta Garden is a song about professional musicians working in their home studio. It's a place where music grows, and it's also located on "Genesta" street in the Valley near Saticoy and Balboa. I had the pleasure of recording an album there.
Genesta Garden
by Gary Holmes
Behind the house there are lemon trees
Besides the garage there's a pool
In the backyard they keep laundry clean
A green street quiet and cool
Genesta Garden where music grows
and nobody ever knows
when a song will arrive again
or the time that day comes and goes
Not too far from Hollywood
And miles away just the same
Working inside for an open door
until the world knows their name
Quest for fame and fortune
All the things that they do
Just to make another song
A song to sing just for you
Genesta Garden where music grows
and nobody ever knows
when a song will arrive again
or the time that day comes and goes
Music inside is a quiet mind
Words so new yet to find
Stories set to pitch and time
and somehow it all rhymes
Genesta Garden where music grows
and nobody ever knows
when a song will arrive again
or the time that day comes and goes

Not too far from Hollywood
And miles away just the same
Working inside for an open door
until the world knows their name
Quest for fame and fortune
All the things that they do
Just to make another song
A song to sing just for you
Genesta Garden where music grows
and nobody ever knows
when a song will arrive again
or the time that day comes and goes
Music inside is a quiet mind
Words so new yet to find
Stories set to pitch and time
and somehow it all rhymes
Genesta Garden where music grows
and nobody ever knows
when a song will arrive again
or the time that day comes and goes
