My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, both are infinite.

It would be easy just to say

That this is us on any day.

But wiser souls than I would laugh

And interrupt on your behalf.

Your bed is roses some would say

But how do flowers find their way

To piles of grass and new mown hay?

And how did I the regal power

End up on the couch this hour?

And where’s the love that shines above?

Where is the woman I do love?

And where is something I can eat

And must I sleep with these cold feet?

Perhaps there will be time again

When I can call you my best friend.

Oh, I have gone and hurt your heart

And caused this fiery sky to start.

Yes! There is beauty on display

But this is not a celebration day!
