The woman's 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 that't left is

All I have to give.



The woman's like an ivy

on a pole

She wraps her twisted

love around my soul

There will come a

sudden winter

When she seeks the

warmth of day

And there'll come a time

when she will come to stay.



The woman's 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
