Ballad Of An Elder Woman |
Now woman, don’t you feel sad when you see your life go round |
And you realise that you’ve been drinking all of your years like wine? |
You’re gambling with time and you know you just can’t win |
But still you feel that somehow you’ve just got to keep on trying |
And woman, it’s your heart, I hear crying |
Now the young man by your side is your husband, or so you say |
In reality, he’s a link with a past you just can’t replace |
You tell the world you’re happy when you’re lying in his arms |
Oh but his youth has made you hate to see his face |
And woman, it’s your heart, I see crying |
Now you’re standing like some tree oh and the blossom has blown away |
And the last leaf has gone crumbling, tumbling towards the ground |
You have nothing to teach me, just have nothing at all to say |
Except to keep on telling me about all the happiness that you do think you have |
found |
And woman, it’s your heart, I hear crying |
