Earthly Belonging
Karina Gill
You're a lily of the field
another day without much to say
I see you standing tall
amid the getting and the spending
Could you look my way?
I'm with the beggars and the choosers
No your eyes aren't blue
They're a different shade every time I see you
The left one looks askance
at the getting and the spending
The right's shot through with pink
for the beggars and the choosers
You know what they say
can't win if you don't play but you can cry at your party
Though my eyes fill up with tears
for the getting and the spending
still none of this is mine
I'm with the beggars and the choosers
