With Her It Goes Deeper

When the going gets tough
Some people wonder
Whether to weep or 
Matter-of-factly 
Laugh the thing off
But she knows exactly
With her it goes deeper

She just crumples up
Folds and goes under
Hearing the reaper
Shuffling onward 
To level the crop 
That's ripening sunward
With her it goes deeper

When the going gets fair
Some people dither
Whether to leap or 
Shyly and nicely 
Offer a prayer
They don't know precisely
With her it goes deeper

Overjoyed or forlorn
One way and another
She can't seem to keep a
Sense of proportion
Dance until dawn
Or drink to extinction
With her it goes deeper
With her it goes deeper
