Riches and Wonders
Love's Bounty: Navigating Life's Highs and Hardships
Lyrics
We live high our love gorges on the alcohol we feed it
We indulge in our love, sustained by the alcohol we provide it.
And it grows all fat and friendly
The love becomes robust and amiable.
We have surplus if we need it
We have an abundance of love that we can use when necessary.
We hold on as hard as we can
We cling tightly, exerting maximum effort.
Our knuckles are white
Our grip is so intense that our knuckles turn white.
We write letters to each other, invent secrets to confess to
We correspond through letters, creating secrets to share.
I learn foreign and exotic terms of endearment by which to address you
I learn affectionate terms in foreign languages to address you.
We feed fresh fruit to one another
We nourish each other with fresh fruit.
We stay up all night
We stay awake through the night.
I am healthy, I am whole, but I have poor impulse control
I am physically well, but I struggle with controlling my impulses.
And I want to go home
I desire to return to a familiar place.
But I am home
Despite the yearning, I am already in a place I can call home.
We are strong, we are faithful
We are resilient and devoted.
We are guardians of a rare thing
We safeguard a rare and precious thing.
We pay close careful attention to the news the morning air brings
We pay close attention to the news that each morning brings.
We show great loyalty to the hard times we've been through
We remain loyal to the difficulties we've faced.
We are filled with riches and wonders
We are filled with abundance and marvels.
Our love keeps the things it finds
Our love preserves the things it discovers.
And we dance like drunken sailors, lost at sea out of our minds
We dance wildly like sailors lost at sea and out of our minds.
You find shelter somewhere in me
You find refuge within me.
I find great comfort in you
I find great solace and reassurance in you.
And I keep you safe from harm
I protect you from harm.
You hold me in your arms, and I want to go home
You embrace me, and despite the yearning to return, I am already in a place I can call home.
But I am home
