Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - 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

Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle

You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death
The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls
You, my whole world
