Half The Perfect World

Every night she'd come to me

I'd cook for her, I'd pour her 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

[01:09.76]The candles burn

[01:15.81]The moon went down

[01:20.47]The polished hill

[01:24.52]The milky town

[01:28.49]Transparent, weightless, luminous

[01:37.92]Uncovering the two of us

[01:42.33]On that fundamental ground

[01:46.45]Where love's unwilled, unleashed,

[01:53.12]Unbound

[01:56.41]And half the perfect world is found

[02:59.00]
