lyrics

Woman

A September song
Was all we had
The last time you looked upon me with love
Now it's January cold
And I am all alone
With my memories, fading on, fading on
Take this war love from out my chest
I don't wanna feel no more
Take this soul love
You own it evermore

Woman
I can't know another
The days are so tired
The days of summer are gone

Lips torn against each other
Words twisted into heart-shaped boxes
We of movie kisses
She a living movement, an actress in three parts
One part wine, one part sugar, one part razor
Wit and sharply barbed tongue
Wired fence I could not get through nor escape
Help, he thought, as he lay in bed for the 16th year in a row
I cannot break free
I shall die here a prisoner
Committing crimes to return behind bars
A helpless recidivist
Please, please say those words one more time
Just once more before I have to leave you
He wakes up in an empty house and thinks, help
There is no turning back
The only thing he could have done was the wrong thing
Saving himself was the wrong thing
When she left him with nothing but the promise of her love
He climbed her saffron peaks again and again
Falling, climbing, falling she said
Don't leave, I need you
And so he moved out into the world
To make money among strangers
All the dark survival smelling like rejection
He knew in the end she would hate him
So she wrote him one more poem
And made love to him the day he returned
Little did he know, it would be the last time
But hadn't it always been this way
Hadn't every time felt like the last time
