Woman， She Was Gentle - Eric Andersen

Woman, She Was Gentle - Eric 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
La la la la la la la la
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
La la la
But 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
La la la
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
Lookng for an honest scar
To teach me how to sing this song
Now I will sing it well
La la la
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
Like a child
La la la la
La la la la
Like a child
La la la la
Like a child
La la la la
Like a child
La la la la
