A Woman's Life And Love Lyrics - Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire

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 

Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart 

Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear 

Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle 

I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him 

Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness 

Ring upon my finger, little golden ring 

Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart 

The blissful dream of childhood has ended 

Now I drink delicious death with you my love 

Now you have me caused me my first pain, that really hurt 

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
