about

Man and wife lend much, each to each; owe much each from each; give much, each to each; take much. each from each. The complexity makes a simple caesura almost unfathomable.

lyrics

CREDITOR

My wife's my creditor
And all this time, I've never known
And I'm her debitor
So sour the fruit which we've grown
Or so I'm told

Cries...
Lies...

Am I not much better?
And all this time, I've never known
Can I forget her
Her words of bramble and stone?
A hard row to hoe

Cries...
Sighs...

[INTERLUDE]

My knife will settle her
And all this time, I've never known
Do I have the mettle
Forebearing a severance of our home?
This much I woe

Cries...
Why...?
