A Woman's » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ The Heel
The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and not alone
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slams the door without goodbye
Tonight my eyes are jealous green
Tonight i'm melancholy mean
He meets in secret rendezvous
Some dame to tell his troubles to
The heel
He'll promise her most anything
A sable coat, a diamond ring
She'll find him out when its too late
And all she'll get will be the date
But while the dawn's a distant thing
In his embrace her heart will sing
A dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too late a woman cries
The heel
The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow
And in the gloom i hear a laugh
Its coming from his photograph
I wring my hands and mop the floor
And swear to even up the score
But where a kitten cried tonight
A panther waits to claw and bite
The heel
I dare not play my radio
One more complaint and out i go
I'm sick of playing solitaire
The ace of spades is everywhere
They'll be no sleep for me tonight
The sheep i count are never white
They all turn out to be jet black
And who's the leader of the pack
The heel
At dawn i know he'll stagger in
Demanding coffee black as sin
And as i take it from the tin
I'll slip a little powder in
He'll look at me and start to cry
And cross his heart and hope to die
And mumble i know how you feel
But i've been on a business deal
The heel
Then as the pot begins to perc.
I know my plan will never work
When he starts to drink it up
I grab his hand and break the cup
Its only jealousy i know
That brought my thinking down so low
Why must i wait for him and grieve
Why don't i just pack up and leave
The heel
But now he's reeling on the stair
I'll try to act like i don't care
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click
We're in a web of love and hate
Where it will end is up to fate
I'll let him have his little flings
I'll be the chewing gum that clings
To the heel

2. _ Little White Cloud That Cried
I went walking down by the river
Feeling very sad inside
When all at once i saw in the sky
The little white cloud that cried
He told me he was very lonesome
No one cared if he lived or died
He said sometimes the thunder and lightening
Make all the little clouds cry
He said, "have faith in all kinds of weather
Through the sun will always shine
Do your best and always remember
The dark clouds pass with time."
He asked me if i would tell all my world
Just how hard those little clouds try
That's how i know i'll always remember
The little white cloud that sat right down and cried

3. _ Salty Dog
All hands on deck
We're all afloat
I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive
Across the straits
Around the horn
How far can sailors fly
The twisted path
Our tortured course
And no left alive
We sailed for parts
Unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
No fortress bold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh
Seasick day
We made our port of call
The sun so white
And the sea so blue
No mortal place at all
We fired the gun
And burned the mast
And rode from ship to shore
The captain cried
We sailors wept
But our tears were tears of joy
How many moons
And how many junes
Have passed since we made love
A salty dog
And a seaman's log
Your witness my own pain

4. _ For One Moment
The hurt i hurt
Is nothing like
The hurts i've hurt before
The things i feel
Do not feel
Like things i've felt before
And the loneliness and the emptiness
And the hopelessness are fine
'cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
For one moment you were mine
The pain that pains
Is not the pain
That pained my heart before
The tears i tear
Are not the tears
My eyes have teared before
And the loneliness and the helplessness
And the uselessness are fine
'cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
For one moment you were mine

5. _ The Plague
I've spent many a night
Lying on my back
Waiting for the dawn
To pierce and crack
And the ceiling
Hanging from the sky
And i envy the boy
Who grabbed the toy
And ran away
And found a joy
While i stood in the shadows
Wondering why
Flying towards me
Then he laughs
A woman's face
The terrible taste
Of the morning after kisses
And goodbyes
I could never seem to catch my footsteps
Have desires, they fly away
Every day i have to fight the plague
How can i sleep in hours like this
When anguish tracks me like a fist
My nakedness exposed, i can't stand
Still i...try to remember lips on lips
Hips on hips and ice on fire
In gloom and glow
When did they leave the man
In the mirror of the night i see
A face that staring out at me
Like a fallen star
Burned itself out
Like a deadly scrapes
Across the ground
My voice cried out
In a gravelled sound
No one's there to hear me
But the plague
Straining hard to see
Running after me
I keep pounding pounding on the door
But it's all so vague
When you meet the plague
And i keep coming
I keep coming back for more

6. _ Just Good Friends
Drawing back the curtains
Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon
Here's that special silence
Just before you walk out of the hotel room
Each time we're so close i assume
That we'll never be again
Oh, how long must we pretend?
A casual affair
Was all that you could spare
From your emotional change
A calendar of greetings
Strangers on the street
The best we've ever arranged
Now i just can't stand all the pain
All the constant break and mend
Oh, how long can we pretend
That we're just good friends?
I gave you my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If i walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me?
So much tangled up emotion
Should i stay or should i go?
If i walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
Are we such good friends?
And how sordid this has become
As the means approach the end
And how long can we pretend?
I gave my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If i walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me?
So much tangled up emotion
Should i stay or should i go?
If i walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
If i walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
Are we still good friends?

7. _ A Woman's Story
There are many who have laid with me
Then got up and walked away from me
And played around with me like i was a game
Every night was a one night fling
When i'd given them everything
They never even asked me for my name
God they never even asked me for my name
Now i've found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that i feel love
I just can't live without it
So if you love me
The way i love you
Why can't we spend our lives as one
My reputation was all over town
As a woman who was passed around
I knew every wrong way to go
Seen every room with a bed inside it
And every habit i've tried, i tried it
But from now on i say hell no
No but from now on i say hell no
Now i've found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that i feel love
I just can't live without it
So if you love me
The way i love you
Why can't we spend our lives as one
Why can't we spend our lives as one
