Woman, She Was Gentle - Eric Andersen

Written by：E. Andersen

Woman she was gentle

She took me for a while

When my soul was beaten

She held it like a child

Once there as another

She looked so much like you

She never could received these things

That I'm telling you

She claimed she was the woman

Who knew the life I craved

Some would call her a savior

While some would call her a slave

Her devotion it betrayed me

Always broke my thoughts

She stabbed me with the silence

And I bled and called it love

I was born a sailor

With a sailor's lonely life

She said the sea it frightened her

She couldn't be the sailor's wife

She said our love was sacred

I agreed it was blessed

While underneath we really knew

Neither one could be possessed

Now even you my love

Have come to expect too much

You should see you cannot reach

For what you cannot touch

So I will wander through your wounds

Looking for an honest scar

To teach me how to sing this song

Now I will sing it well

Woman she was gentle

She took me for awhile

When my soul was beaten

She held it like a child

Like a child

La la la la

Like a child

La la la la

Like a child

La la la la la la la

La la la
