Written by John Prine Pat McLaughlin and Dan Auerbach From the album The Tree of Forgiveness [Intro] / [Verse 1] I woke up this morning to a garbage truck Looks like this ol’ horseshoe’s done run out of luck If I came home would you let me in? Fry me some pork chops and forgive my sin? [Chorus] Surround me with your boundless love Confound me with your boundless love I was drowning in a sea lost as I could be When you found me with your boundless love [Verse 2] Sometimes my ol’ heart is like a washing machine It bounces around ’til my soul comes clean And when I’m clean and hung out to dry I’m gonna make you laugh until you cry [Chorus] Surround me with your boundless love Confound me with your boundless love I was drowning in a sea lost as I could be When you found me with your boundless love [Break] / [Verse 3] If by chance I should find myself at risk A-falling from this jagged cliff I look below and I look above I’m surrounded by your boundless love [Chorus] Surround me with your boundless love Confound me with your boundless love I was drowning in a sea lost as I could be When you found me with your boundless love [Outro] You dumbfound me with your boundless love You surround me a-with your boundless love [Note] The first two lines of the chorus (and the last two lines of the last chorus) should be proceeded by bass note walk down from to as so... e|------------| B|------------| G|------------| D|------------| A|--------0----2----3----| E|---3------------|

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'idée de se tourner vers l'amour inconditionnel d'un être cher, même dans les moments de vulnérabilité et de désespoir. Elle parle d'un cœur tourmenté cherchant à se rétablir et à retrouver la paix grâce à la tendresse d'une autre personne. Les images de perte et de rédemption sont puissantes, illustrant un voyage intérieur où l'amour devient un refuge essentiel. Le contexte de la chanson semble refléter des expériences de lutte personnelle et de désir de pardon. Il s’agit d’une invitation à trouver du réconfort dans l’affection de ceux qui nous entourent, même quand tout semble aller de travers. Ce besoin de réconciliation et de connexion humaine apparaît tout au long des paroles, touchant à des thèmes universels.
