Lyrics[]

We were real hungry and half dead 
When you broke out half a loaf of sourdough bread 
And in the tropical air, the scent rose like a spirit
Moments of grace like this being wholly unmerited, ah

We were newly alive and I felt your hand on my arm
I was awake to the sensation and immune from all harm
You pressed your soft cheek up against my gut
Pure gold, nothing but gold
And I'm gonna bake you a nice coconut cream pie
'Cause I saw the sky coming down to meet you
