[00:02.89] I know, I know that I could live in
[00:05.99] whatever house you choose to build and I
[00:08.46] will model myself on it and
[00:10.23] wait for you alone, while you are
[00:14.35] out making a life for us I will
[00:16.75] stay and watch the days go past, and I'll
[00:19.47] see how the plants advance
[00:22.35] and they turn on what they know
[00:25.55] Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown,
[00:29.86] they have arials they feed from me and they grow and grow and grow now I am,
[00:36.06] shifting into greenery now the pipes are running bone and you might,
[00:41.76] think I was a house but I am a woman, a woman
[00:51.12] "Come back, come back" before you said
[00:53.62] "Come back so you can see
[00:56.25] There are roses in the flowerbeds
[00:58.81] where there never used to be"
[01:06.23] And all my days are
[01:12.32] fading into leaves
[01:17.55] walls you made are us
[01:22.91] but I don't want to be
[01:28.33] the queen
[01:31.40] in a century of sleep
[01:39.38] I know, I know that I believe in
[01:42.46] whatever brings you joy from me
[01:45.26] But I've swept until I couldn't sweep
[01:45.83] and this house is still a lie, now I have to
[01:50.92] find a dress, have to buy a dress
[01:52.99] have to sew the dress 'til the pieces mesh, and I
[01:56.38] don't think I'm ready yet and I
[01:59.09] haven't got the time
[02:00.48] Now there is rosemary where previously there was no rosemary,
[02:06.68] they have arials they feed from me and they tease and tease and tease now I am,
[02:13.01] shifting into scenery now the pipes are running bleach and you might,
[02:18.44] think I was a house, but I'm a woman, a woman
[02:27.06] But you say don't be afraid
[02:31.67] and you try to explain
[02:35.83] how the best that we can hope and hope to gain
[02:41.32] is to love and then be loved
[02:45.30] is to have and then to hold
[02:49.48] 'til we age and then we're old
[02:59.55] And all my days are
[03:05.37] fading into leaves
[03:10.50] walls you made are us
[03:16.26] but I don't want to be
[03:21.50] And all my days are
[03:27.41] fading into leaves
[03:32.75] walls you made are us
[03:38.00] but I don't want to be
[03:43.49] the queen
[03:47.75] in a century of sleep
[03:53.17] But I know that I believe
[03:55.79] in whatever makes you pleased
[03:58.54] in whatever brings you joy
[04:01.58] from me
[04:05.09]
