Bounty

IN A ROOMFUL OF FRIENDS SLEEPING OH
I DREAM OF TEN RAINBOWS AROUND ME
THE WHOLE SKY BENDS WITH THE BOUNTY
OH ISN’T OUR LOVE JUST LIKE AN EQUATOR?
HOT IN THE SPRING AND HOT IN THE AUTUMN
THEY SAY, “DON’T EVER END, DEAR!”
BUT DANGER DANGER ALWAYS FINDS ME
IN FRIEND OR FAUNA COME FIND ME
LEAD ME TO SOME DARK DEN WHERE MY KIN COULD ONLY PRAY I’D NEVER GO
IN A ROOMFUL OF FRIENDS SLEEPING OH
I DREAM THAT TEN TREES FALL AROUND ME
AND THEN GROW UP AGAIN
YES WHAT ONCE WAS CLOSE AS COMBTEETH AND
CANDLELIT OUR DARKS AND DEEPS
WHAT ONCE WAS NEAR AS WATER IS TO SKY
NOW IS GONE
STILL THE GULLS AND THE PELLIES AND THE PLOVERS TOLD ME
IF YOU LOST IT AT SEA, IT CAN BE RETRIEVED
BUT IT COMES BACK CHANGED
