Straight Chant, Pt. 11

de Whitehawk & Crowe

She comes for me in silence
When the night is closing down
And most have drawn the curtains
On their eyes

She wears a lovers face
That has never seen a dawn
It disappears in daylight
And I know it's just disguise

And she says

I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man

Many nights I've waited only
To see her shying at the fences
She measures her time
With me like salt

Just enough to help the flavour
Of her times and of her tenses
Not too much
That corrosion might take hold

And she says

I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man

Can you trace your reflection in my eyes
I can be fooled
But not this time
She sighs

In this old blue dress
How can you adore me
When you really should ignore
And let me go

I say
Take off that Old Blue dress
And come for me in twilight
And she smiles as if she just might
And that's all I need to know

I carry the sadness of a woman
A sadness only women understand
You, you'll hear my footsteps
Louder when I'm gone
Just like every other man
Just like every other man
