[00:27.68]I'd cook for her, I'd pour her tea
[00:34.16]She was in her thirties then
[00:39.66]Had made some money, lived with men
[00:56.57]We'd lay us down to give and get
[01:01.82]Beneath the white mosquito net
[01:08.34]And since no counting had begun
[01:13.86]We lived a thousand years in one
[01:28.59]The candles burned
[01:34.67]The moon went down
[01:40.16]The polished hill
[01:45.49]The milky town
[01:50.22]Transparent, weightless, luminous
[02:01.25]Uncovering the two of us
[02:05.95]On that fundamental ground

[02:21.47]And half the perfect world is found
[02:38.37]The candles burned
[02:44.31]The moon went down
[02:49.60]The polished hill
[02:55.36]The milky town
[02:59.98]Transparent, weightless, luminous
[03:10.80]Uncovering the two of us
[03:15.24]On that fundamental ground
[03:21.34]Where love's unwilled, unleashed
[03:32.06]And half the perfect world is found
