Half The Perfect World Lyrics - Half The Perfect World - Madeleine Peyroux

Every night he'd come to me 

I'd cook for him, I'd pour his tea 

I was in my thirties then 

Had made some money, lived with men 

We'd lay us down to give and get 

Beneath the white mosquito net 

And since no counting had begun 

We lived a thousand years in one 

The candles burned 

The moon went down 

The polished hill 

The milky town 

Transparent, weightless, luminous 

Uncovering the two of us 

On that fundamental ground 

Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound 

And half the perfect world is found

The candles burned 

The moon went down 

The polished hill 

The milky town 

Transparent, weightless, luminous 

Uncovering the two of us 

On that fundamental ground 

Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound 

And half the perfect world is found
