12/17/12 Lyrics - What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World - Decemberists

What a gift, what a gift you can give me 

Here with my heart so whole, while others may be grieving 

Think of their grieving 

And oh my boy 

Don't you know you are dear to me 

You are a breath of life 

and a light upon the water 

A light upon the water 

And, oh my love 

If you only knew how I long for you 

How I waste my days wishing you would come around 

Just to have you around 

And what a dear 

What a sweet little baby 

This cannonball in the bosom of your belly 

It's just a kick in your belly 

And oh my god, 

What a world you have made here 

What a terrible world, what a beautiful world 

What a world you have made here
