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
