Lyrics Julie Byrne – Young Wife
Text:
I keep you in the cataracts, inside the blindness of my eyes
Oh celestial body
Barricade this blown out divide
And with your hands that built the roof, set the tea in the kettle to brew
I made my soul good by trusting the bees
I made my life simple by learning what I can’t keep
I made my life simple by learning what I can’t keep
In ribboned and colorful ways
I learned to compromise with 13 teeth pressed to my side
I, I am your young wife
I am your young wife
