Colin Meloy - 12/17/12 lyrics

[Verse 1] What a gift, what a gift you can give me Here with my heart so whole, while others may be grieving Think of their grieving And oh my boy, don't you know you are dear to me You are a breath of life and a light upon the water A light upon the water [Verse 2] And oh, my love, if you only knew how I long for you How I waste my days wishin' you would come around Just to have you around What a dear, what a sweet little baby This cannonball in the bosom of your belly It's just a kick in your belly [Verse 3] And oh my God, what a world you have made here What a terrible world, what a beautiful world What a world you have made here What a world you have made here What a world you have made here
