Woman

(album: Mother's Milk - 2021)

You light up a smoke
And suddenly everything's coming up roses
You're forgetting that I know how to peel back the leaves to your artichoke heart
Dad it's broken

Just 200 miles from the love of your life
Feels like an eternity I know
And it sticks in your side like the blade of a knife
Each time you've gotta let her go

I see that gravity pulls your tears to the ground
I know you haven't been good since she's not around
And I tried to shake some sense into you
Shoulda know I wouldn't and just like me you need the love of a woman
I watch you counting down the hours 'til the end of the day
I'm getting tired of sitting by to watch you fade away
Drinking won't stop the pain but I know it helps to numb it
Just like me you need the love of a good good woman

To both of your boys it's clear that the distance has taken its toll
And the cracks in your voice are like seems where the stitching has failed in your soul

Just 4 little hours from the love of your life
Feels like an eternity I know
And it slowly devours you up from inside
Each time you've gotta let her go

I see that gravity pulls your tears to the ground
I know you haven't been good since she's not around
And I tried to shake some sense into you
Shoulda know I wouldn't and just like me you need the love of a woman
I watch you counting down the hours 'til the end of the day
I'm getting tired of sitting by to watch you fade away
Drinking won't stop the pain but I know it helps to numb it
Just like me you need the love of a good good woman

Just like me you need the love of a good good woman
Just like me you need the love of a good good woman
