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
