Woman,
child in a cherry tree, playing the part
Playing ‘til dark, the little harrow wind park
Courage facing the night, in the fire, fly light
Through a screen of loneliness
Woman,
waiting for the end of summer, when September turns to fall
And all the leaves are gone watching your future unfold

Woman
On your sleep, you wear the duvet of sorrow
In hopes that tomorrow brings those things
That seems to pass you by and makes you ask yourself why
Keep asking why?
Oh Woman,
safe in my memories, saved are the grief,
And all the tears, the silent picture haunts me,
Still I see you waving goodbye, from a taxi, I
View a love as it begins, here I stand
Woman
In the lonely days of winter, as the wind cries out your name
The flames of what we had, still burns
I don’t understand, woman
In my heart I tried so hard to forgive you
for the promise you made and broke, but
No one hears my prayers, the silence hangs in the air
Woman
Will the spring time ever find me with a smile upon my face
the grace of time gone by will heal the pain of goodbye
Woman,
Did you ever love me? Just as I loved you
Although it must be true that you were meant to be part of my life’s destiny
Part of my dream
Woman
You bind my heart with spider’s lace
And sigh
and disappear
without a trace
My woman.
