Lyrics
Young Wife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I keep you in the cataracts
Inside the blindness of my eyes
Oh, celestial body
Barricade this blown out divide
And with your hands that built the roof
Set the tea in the kettle to brew
I made my soul good by trusting the bees
And I made my life simple by learning what I can't keep
In ribboned and colorful ways
I learned to compromise with 13 teeth pressed to my side
I am your young wife
I am your young wife
