i know i know that i could live in whatever house you choose to build and i will model myself on it and wait for you alone while you are out making a life for us i will stay and watch the days go past and i ll see how the plants advance and they turn on what they know now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown they have aerials they feed from me and they grow and grow and grow now i am shifting into greenery now the pipes are running bone and you might think i was a house but i m a woman a woman come back come back before you said come back so you can see there are roses in the flowerbeds where there never used to be and all my days are fading into these walls you made of us but i don t want to be the queen in a century of sleep i know i know that i believe in whatever brings you joy from me but i swept until i couldn t sweep and this house is still alive now i have to find a dress have to buy a dress have to sew the dress til the pieces mesh and i don t think i m ready yet and i haven t got the time now there is rosemary where previously there was no rosemary they have aerials they feed from me and they tease and tease and tease now i am shifting into scenery now the pipes are running bleach and you might think i was a house but i m a woman a woman but you say don t be afraid and you try to explain how the best that we can hope and hope to gain is to love and then be loved is to have and then to hold til we age and then grow old and all my days are fading into these walls you made of us but i don t want to be and all my days are fading into these walls you made of us but i don t want to be the queen in a century of sleep but i know that i believe in whatever makes you pleased in whatever brings you joy from me
