This marriage is no bed of roses
My darling, it's a wild meadow
And all the fruits and flowers surround us
Everything we need is ours
Everything you touch blooms
And everything touches you
Green fingers and toes
Green tongue and nose
I am pregnant but not with child
Inside me is a forest
A surging world opens up to me
And I am barren no more
Love, when you sing you wake the birds up
And they join in your chorus
And I like them am drawn to you
Add my voice to theirs
