She was as straight as an arrow

I was the crookedest bow

She had the weight of a sparrow

And i was the heaviest crow

Walking together in shadows

Drifting apart in the light

Clutching at straws in the daytime

Facing despair late at night



She is my little big woman

I've got to let her know

She saw that i was arriving

When everyone saw me go

She was my little big woman

And she will always be

Fragile and strong at the same time

My little big woman is free



Did i rely on my conscience

Or give into undertows

Was it the boy or man leaving

She's the only one that knows



She is my little big woman...



She was as pure as a flower

I was a poisonous weed

She had the grace of a calm swan

And i was a wolf dressed in greed



She is my little big woman...
