"It's you I can't deny, it's you I can't defy…" (My Beloved Wife – 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

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?
would it be wrong if I should
just turn my face away from the light
go with her tonight?”
