I think the singer's phrasing, being that it's conforming to your lyric, is creating a more interesting form than, say, the consistent iambic pentameter of a Wordsworth poem, which leads to boxy structures. This has surprises in it. I hope you'll finish it with (at least) another section after what's there, and then maybe an intro and outro.

I hear some Dylan in her phrasing. Reminds me a little of Aimee Mann.

Wistful, quirky, and quite stoically beautiful!
