So Lonely Song

So Lonely Song

I find myself in a fruitful lifetime,

I dine as I please

Eating in the finer places

Venison, apple, melon, and cheese

My tongue has tasted the world of spices

Clothe sweet in ginger tart

Citrus from Jordan, plums from China

Cupboards a-plenty, but empty my heart

Oh Lord, only You will believe me

I tell You, I am so hungry

I would die...

I life a life free from worry

I drink as I go

Whiskey the color of a Grecian sunset

Black currant brandy, and beer brewed from snow

Though I have wells full of mountain water

Barrels of juniper wine

Liquors the fragrance of [...] orchids

Never have I sipped your nectar divine

Oh Lord, it does bereave me

I tell You, I am so thirsty

I would die...

Oh, I was born in a handsome body

Worthy of glance and flattery

Too many lovers and too few brothers

Arms hold me gently, my soul cries for Thee

Oh God, will You receive me?

I tell You, I am so lonely

I would die...
