Madeleine Peyroux - Half The Perfect World lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Every night he'd come to me<br>

I'd cook for him, I'd pour his tea<br>

I was in my thirties then<br>

Had made some money, lived with men<br>

<br>

We'd lay us down to give and get<br>

Beneath the white mosquito net<br>

And since no counting had begun<br>

We lived a thousand years in one<br>

<br>

The candles burned<br>

The moon went down<br>

The polished hill<br>

The milky town<br>

Transparent, weightless, luminous<br>

Uncovering the two of us<br>

On that fundamental ground<br>

Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound<br>

And half the perfect world is found<br>

<br>

The candles burned<br>

The moon went down<br>

The polished hill<br>

The milky town<br>

Transparent, weightless, luminous<br>

Uncovering the two of us<br>

On that fundamental ground<br>

Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound<br>

And half the perfect world is found<br>

<BR><BR>
