All I need... for now

I just bought Sara Groves's "The Other Side of Something," and I've been bumping it in my room for the past hour. I always thought of Sara Groves as real serious in her music until I heard "All I Need." This is for all you married people:

All I Need

Newly married, new apartment
All our furniture was saved from the dump
Yes dear maybe we can afford a trashcan next month

All I need is my love for you and a seat for two

New baby new life
We will teach him to speak French
We’ve got no money so we’ll make it all ourselves
I’ll make the curtains and you make the shelves

All I need is a power saw and a new sewing machine

Honey, this house needs a little something
That bare mantle doesn’t look so good
Someone told me of a man
Who makes animals from driftwood

All I need is your monthly bonus for a wooden walrus

Honey, the Colbaughs are coming over
This house needs some renovations
Just a wall or two, just a little room
And a few new decorations

All I need is a sectional and a satellite TV
and dark-wood cabinets that were custom built for me
and a painting by that guy that paints with his feet...

That’s all I need
For now


I think I've seen the driftwood guy on HGTV! He seriously had Noah's Ark and as many animals as he could fit in his front yard. None of it was for sale, though. Dag, yo.
