Sadness Of a Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She comes for me in silence
When the night is closing down
And most have drawn the curtains
On their eyes
She wears a lovers face
That has never seen a dawn
It disappears in daylight
And I know it's just disguise
And she says
I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man
Many nights I've waited only
To see her shying at the fences
She measures her time
With me like salt
Just enough to help the flavour
Of her times and of her tenses
Not too much
That corrosion might take hold
And she says
I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man
Can you trace your reflection in my eyes
I can be fooled
But not this time
She sighs
In this old blue dress
How can you adore me
When you really should ignore
And let me go
I say
Take off that Old Blue dress
And come for me in twilight
And she smiles as if she just might
And that's all I need to know
I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man
