Sadness Of A Woman - Russell Crowe

[00:11.876] She comes for me in silence,
[00:14.252] When the night is closing down,
[00:17.469] And most have drawn the curtains on their eyes.
[00:23.454] She wears a lover's face,
[00:25.926] That has never seen a dawn,
[00:29.488] It disappears in daylight,
[00:31.698] And I know it's just disguise.
[00:34.587] And she says, I... carry the sadness of a woman,
[00:43.831] A sadness only women understand,
[00:47.528] You... you'll hear my footsteps,
[00:53.647] Louder when I'm gone,
[00:56.547] Just like every other man.
[01:02.470] Just like every other man.
[01:09.706] Many nights I've waited only,
[01:12.603] To see her shying at the fences,
[01:16.128] She measures, her time with me like salt.
[01:21.521] Just enough to help the flavor,
[01:24.214] Of her times and of her tenses not too much,
[01:30.214] That corrosion might take hold.
[01:32.916] And she says, I... carry the sadness of a woman,
[01:42.355] A sadness only women understand,
[01:46.092] You... you'll hear my footsteps,
[01:52.629] Louder when I'm gone,
[01:54.677] Just like every other man.
[02:01.003] Just like every other man.
[02:08.328] Can you trace, your reflection in my eyes?
[02:13.503] I can be fooled, but not this time, she sighs
[02:20.453] \"In this old blue dress,
[02:23.422] How can you adore me,
[02:25.895] When you really should ignore, and let me go?\"
[02:30.487] I say take off that old blue dress,
[02:34.067] And come for me in twilight,
[02:37.414] And she smiles as if she just might,
[02:40.361] And that's all I need to know.
[02:47.578] And she says, I... carry the sadness of a woman,
[02:55.701] A sadness only women understand,
[02:59.270] You... you'll hear my footsteps,
[03:05.483] Louder when I'm gone,
[03:08.345] Just like every other man.
[03:14.263] Just like every other man.
[03:19.833] Just like every other man.
