Andrew Bird - A Woman's Life And Love lyrics

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 has got a clear mind and firm courage 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 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 The blissful dream of childhood has ended Now I drink delicious d**h 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 d**h The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls You, my whole world.
