Hymns From Nineveh - Under the Sun lyrics

Oh, what a fool I am When I confuse the sum of my belongings With the amount of my happiness Fool! Could you only have such a thing As happiness No man could ever have such wealth Oh, what a fool I was When I thought getting what I longed for Would make me want no more Fool! Could you only long for no more No man would ever want more So I make a list of unownable things That make me happy I write: You The sea The sun The trees The birds The sky The time I have left with you under the sun
