Bittersweet

Music Scott Buckley - Undertow

In my hallucination 
I saw my Beloved's flower garden 


In my vertigo 
In my dizziness 
In my drunken haze 
whirling and dancing 
like a spinning wheel 


I saw myself 
as the source of existence 
I was there in the beginning 
and I was the spirit of love 


Now I am sober 
There is only the hangover 
and the memory of love 
And only the sorrow 


I yearn for happiness 
I ask for help 
I want mercy 


And my love says 
Look at me and hear me 
because I'm here just for that 


I am your moon 
and your moonlight too 
I am your flower garden 
and your water too 
I have come all this way eager for you without shoes or shawl 


I want you to laugh 
to kill all your worries 
to love you 
to nourish you 


0h Sweet Bitterness! 
I will soothe you and heal you 
I will bring you roses 
I too have been covered with thorns
