Is This Nice? - Devendra Banhart

Is this nice?

Do you like it?

(oooh)

Would you like

Me to sing you this song?

It begins

With a question

(oooh)

I just asked one

& now I’ll carry on

Somedays you’re gonna feel

There’ll never again be flowers

Learning to count all the way up to love

Is this real?

Do I mean it?

You know that I do

I wanna be here

Really near

I wanna really be here with you!

Waking up

At the bottom

Of the morning

With an ocean

Soaring over you

Love’s who you’re thinking of

When you see the moon above you

And it’s the middle of the day

What will the baby bee

Someday soon choose for its flower

Now that mommy’s gone away

The grass grows and grows

The wind blows and blows

My beautiful boy

My beautiful boy

Better to understand

Than to be understood

This is quite good

Yes this is quite good

Eyes floating above

What will soon be all cloud

Tear in your eye

This is allowed

But you cannot give up

Music yet to be made

Must be you who’s the bridge

Must be you who’s the bridge

My beautiful boy

My beautiful boy
