Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful
The weight of the sky

Marigolds, turn towards the sun
and soak, gossip, and cry

Lovers sit, moving inch by inch
closer towards the light

(wordless chorus)

Mother’s voice, father’s arms
wrapped around me tight

meek and mild, woman’s smile
it fills me with delight

winter’s chill, water in the pail
hardened into ice

(wordless chorus)
(bridge:)
When I am old, and lowly go
the simplest of things will carry me home
no ebon crows will fly above
in love we are all tangled up
