Für Agnes
I’ve had enough of wedded misery
It’s you I wake to, in the blessed air
Now, at last, its time for you and me
Was blind too long, but now I clearly see
The sunlight streaking through your lovely hair
I’ve had enough of wedded misery
The choice is clear: to be or not to be
It took me many years, but now I dare
At last, my love, it’s time for you and me
I plant a flower, then we plant a tree
True joy arrives when pain’s too much to bear
I’ve had enough of wedded misery
Some God above has listened to my plea
You pick an apple, then I eat a pear
For now, my sweet, it’s time for you and me
The tunnel ends: there’s light for all to see
I kiss your face, I smell your underwear
The time has come, at last, for you and me
I’ve had enough of wedded misery
