andrew bird's bowl of fire - a woman's life and love lyrics
[verse 1: katharine whalen]
since i first saw him, i think myself blind
i look around me and it’s only him i see
his image floats before me, so gentle and so kind
he’s got a clear mind and firm courage
[verse 2]
oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring
devoutly i press you to my lips and to my heart
sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear
twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle
[verse 3]
i serve him and live for him, belong wholly to him
give myself and find myself transfigured by his brightness
ring upon my finger, little golden ring
devoutly i press you to my lips and to my heart
[verse 4]
the blissful dream of childhood has ended
now i drink delicious death with you, my love
now you have me caused me my first pain
that really hurt
you sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death
[verse 5]
the veil falls, the bell tolls
the black shawls, the carriage rolls
you, my whole world
