Beloved Wife Lyrics - Live In Concert - Natalie Merchant

You were the love for certain of my life 

You were simply my beloved wife 

I don't know for certain how I'll live my life 

Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife 

Oh I can't believe 

I've lost the very best of me 

You were the love for certain of my life 

You were simply my beloved wife 

I don't know for certain how I'll live my life 

Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife 

Oh I, I can't believe 

I've lost the very best of me 

You were the love for certain of my life 

For 50 years simply my beloved wife 

With another love I'll never lie again 

It's you I can't deny, it's you I can't defy 

A depth so deep into my grief 

Without my beloved soul 

I renounce my life as my right 

Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife 

My beloved wife, my beloved wife 

My love is gone, she suffered long in hours of pain 

My love is gone and now my suffering begins 

My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should 

Surrender all the joy in my life, go with her tonight? 

My love is gone, she suffered long in hours of pain 

My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should 

Just turn my face away from the light, go with her tonight?
