I need a wife
Like a man needs a knife
To cut his whole being in two
And if I'm not mistaken it's you
When will we walk in the aubergine dark
When will you ever be free
When will you ever love me
You move through your s***e with a luminous grace
Your hair falls into my hands
If you don't leave me you'll take me in
And I'll be divided again
I come to your room when the curtains are drawn
Your stony-faced beauty has dimmed
No words ever pass from your lips
You stare at my bed in a solemn attempt
To anchor your will to my pain
And you leave when I call out your name
You move through your s***e with a luminous grace
Your hair falls into my hands
If you don't leave me you'll take me in
And I'll be divided again
I need a wife
Like a man needs a knife
To cut his whole being in two
And if I'm not mistaken it's you
Like a man needs a knife
To cut his whole being in two
And if I'm not mistaken it's you
When will we walk in the aubergine dark
When will you ever be free
When will you ever love me
You move through your s***e with a luminous grace
Your hair falls into my hands
If you don't leave me you'll take me in
And I'll be divided again
I come to your room when the curtains are drawn
Your stony-faced beauty has dimmed
No words ever pass from your lips
You stare at my bed in a solemn attempt
To anchor your will to my pain
And you leave when I call out your name
You move through your s***e with a luminous grace
Your hair falls into my hands
If you don't leave me you'll take me in
And I'll be divided again
I need a wife
Like a man needs a knife
To cut his whole being in two
And if I'm not mistaken it's you
