Kept Woman

(álbum: Crack-Up - 2017)

[At night]

Anna, you're lost in a shadow there
Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
Oh and I know you'll be
Bolder than me, I was high, I was unaware

God above saw, ever in my mind
Blue and white irises in a line
Under your nameless shame
I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified
As a Rose of the Oceanside

[It bloomed]

Too long till the light of the morning
So unseen, as light in a dream
Too long now to the rising
Too long now to the rising

[It wilted]

Can you be slow for a little while?
Widow your soul for another mile?
I'm just the same as when
You saw me back then
And we're bound to be reconciled
We're bound to be reconciled

[It bloomed]

Too long swinging the knife
All will wash over you, in a night so unending
Not long now to the rising
Not long now to the rising

[It wilted]

Anna, you're lost in the shadow there
Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
Oh and I know you'll be
Bolder than me, I was high, I was unaware

[It rose]
