Wife Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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 on loan
[Verse 2]
I have, I have, I watch a dream breaking
Breaking, breaking, breaking me
Away from my cliff, I am looking down from
[Chorus 2]
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 mine, even mine is unknown
[Outro]
So let me go towards the morning star
With hope it won't disappear
