Empty cup and a can full of marigolds
Half-burned candle, a picture pinned on the wall
Letters, records, and ash on linoleum
Signs of life, the beginning, the beginning
Our beginning, begin again
I was bare
And your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare
Wanted all under Heaven allowed
Snubbed-out smoke in a pack from the Nowhere Inn
Water glass with the smudge of a lipstick stain
Box of nails, olive branch, and the holy ghost
Leave the rest, but come back for the marigolds
The beginning, the beginning, the beginning, still ahead
I was bare
And your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare
Wanted all under Heaven allowed
Give it all away, you give it all away
'Cause the whole world's watching you
Give it all away, you give it all away
'Cause the whole world's watching you
Give it all away, you give it all away
'Cause the whole world's watching you
Give it all away, you give it all away
'Cause the whole world's watching you
