This Woman's Work.

A beautiful song, that popped up again recently, when I couldn't sleep.  And it's just come on my itunes random.  So many songs have come up today.  So many different meanings, journeys and feelings.

 

This song is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.  And it means a fair bit to me too in many ways.  The way she sings it is just, perfect.  The emotion in her voice, the sound of the piano, gives me shivers... and the words, are just so very powerful.

I highly recommend you listen to it, in the dark, when you're in one of those deep thought moods.

Pray God you can cope. 
I stand outside this woman's work, 
This woman's world. 
Ooh, it's hard on the man, 
Now his part is over. 
Now starts the craft of the father. 

I know you have a little life in you yet. 
I know you have a lot of strength left. 
I know you have a little life in you yet. 
I know you have a lot of strength left. 

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. 
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking 

Of all the things I should've said, 
That I never said. 
All the things we should've done, 
That we never did. 
All the things I should've given, 
But I didn't. 

Oh, darling, make it go, 
Make it go away. 

Give me these moments back. 
Give them back to me. 
Give me that little kiss. 
Give me your hand. 

(I know you have a little life in you yet. 
I know you have a lot of strength left. 
I know you have a little life in you yet. 
I know you have a lot of strength left.) 

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. 
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking 

Of all the things we should've said, 
That were never said. 
All the things we should've done, 
That we never did. 
All the things that you needed from me. 
All the things that you wanted for me. 
All the things that I should've given, 
But I didn't. 

Oh, darling, make it go away. 
Just make it go away now.
