PART 1:
tessa…contessa…you’re better than esther…
so move me like water
i’ll flicker like ember
we’re planning a wedding in early december
PART 2:
like laser beams
my darkest days
my darkest days are finally behind
and i’m singing in praise of the children
who wouldn’t let me tumble away
as they mended my mind
as they mended my mind
my little king…
my cajun queen…
my new machine has finally arrived…
and i wanna be sure that it’s all in a reasonable order
find a father for every mother
and a husband for every daughter
save some sunshine for every son
who’d been waiting in darkness for the war to be won…
