Lyrics
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.
You're home, you're home, you're home to me
So leave me, leave me, leave me a map
I'm here at my cliff looking down
I cannot bear you a son
But I will try
For if I am not yours, what am I?
I daydream I'd give one a name of my own
For I, even I, even I am alone
I have, I have, I watch a dream breaking
Breaking, breaking me
Away from my cliff, I am looking down from
I cannot bear you a son
I have tried
But if I am not yours, what am I?
I daydream I'd give him a name of my own
For I, even my, even mine is unknown
So let me go towards the morning star
With hope it won't disappear
