Lyrics emmy the great - A Woman, a Woman, a Century of Sleep

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 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
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
