the Rib & the Woman
from Live at the Manor by the lilies & sparrows
about
This is a song about the creation of woman, and its from the standpoint of God.
lyrics
There's a ghost of a man, who's as strong as he can be, and lonely too. He's loyal and strong, naming whatever he sees. With whom can he be, for whom can he slave, to whom can he place himself below, to love like ill later love him.
And I realize its not for his good, for him to be alone, so I take from his side, and I make him a bride, a love like never before. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life.
Made alone but together, to share a world to themselves, to feel a love like no other, and find a life worth the hand they've been dealt.
Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife.
And I realize its not for his good, for him to be alone, so I take from his side, and I make him a bride, a love like never before. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life.
Made alone but together, to share a world to themselves, to feel a love like no other, and find a life worth the hand they've been dealt.
Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife.

about
the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina
the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
