Lyrics
0:19Every night he'd come to me
0:22I'd cook for him I'd pour his tea
0:27I was in my thirties then
0:33Had made some money
0:38Lived with men
0:45We'd lay us down to give and get
0:49Beneath the white mosquito net
0:54And since no counting had begun
0:59We lived a thousand years in one
1:10The candles burned
1:14The moon went down
1:19The polished hill
1:24The milky town
1:28Transparent weightless luminous
1:37Uncovering the two of us
1:42On that fundamental ground
1:46Where loves unwilled unleashed unbound
1:56And half the perfect world is found
3:00The candles burned
3:05The moon went down
3:10The polished hill
3:15The milky town
3:19Transparent weightless luminous
3:27Uncovering the two of us
3:32On that fundamental ground
3:37Where loves unwilled unleashed unbound
3:47And half the perfect world is found
Every night he'd come to me I'd cook for him I'd pour his tea I was in my thirties then Had made some money Lived with men We'd lay us down to give and get Beneath the white mosquito net And since no counting had begun We lived a thousand years in one The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent weightless luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where loves unwilled unleashed unbound And half the perfect world is found The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent weightless luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where loves unwilled unleashed unbound And half the perfect world is found
