Is this the song you wanted or just the song you got When you opened your eyes this morning darling When the sun was coming up The only thing that matters is the beauty in your wake Your father was a plough-man and the rain always follows the plough So when you see the clouds coming darling Think of the open ground that it falls on The only thing that matters is the beauty in your wake The only thing that matters is the beauty in your wake Am I the one you wanted or just the one you got It's the tyranny of choice darling To have or to have not The only thing that matters is the beauty in your wake The only thing that matters is the beauty in your wake
