The womans like the night She comes and goes She breaks my heart each day And never knows, And the time I spend in sorrow Will match the time I live And the time thats left is All I have to give. The womans like an ivy on a pole She wraps her twisted love around my soul There will come a sudden winter When shell seek the warmth of day And therell come a time when she will come to stay. The womans like the tide She comes and goes She knows the things that I can just suppose. And the time I spend in sorrow Will match the time that she laughs And the songs I sing cannot explain but half.
