Kept Woman

Anna, you're lost in a shadow there

Cinder and smoke hanging in the air

Oh and I know you'll be bolder than me

I was high, I was unaware

God above saw, ever in the mind

Blue and white irises in a line

Under your nameless shame

I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified

As a rose of the oceanside

Too long to the light of the morning

So unseen, as light in a dream

Too long now to the rising

Too long now to the rising

Can you be slow for a little while?

Widow your soul for another mile?

I'm just the same as when you saw me back then

And we're bound to be reconciled

Bound to be reconciled

Too long swinging the knife

All will wash over you in a night so unending

Not long now to the rising

Not long now to the rising

Anna, you're lost in the shadow there

Cinder and smoke hanging in the air

Oh and I know you'll be bolder than me

I was high, I was unaware
