Half The Perfect World lyrics

Every night hed come to me
Id cook for him, Id pour his tea
I was in my thirties then
Had made some money
Lived with men

Wed 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
