All Of The Women

(앨범: Outside Child - 2021)

She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here
On the corner most every night for the last six years
When she's not there
When she's not there
When she's not there
I worry about her
Worry about her
I think of all of the women
All of the women
All of the women
Who disappear
Who disappear

We've made friendly acquaintance, sometimes we talk
She likes the way that I smile
And sing as I walk
I like her fabulous outfits, the proud way she moves
She says, "I used to be a dancer
Some grace you don't lose
Some grace you don't lose"

"I made some choices, some were made for me
For the way I survive I make no apology
Everybody and somebody don't always meet up
I'm the salvation for those left without
For those left without, those living small lies
What I provide can't be measured in nickels and dimes
In nickels and dimes"

I ask, "What about the bad dates, don't you ever get scared?"
"Well I've had my share, honey, but it's fear I can bear
It's fear I can bear
'Cause I'm stronger than eggshells, I'm tougher than luck
I've never been despised so much or hit so hard
Or hit so hard, I couldn't get back up
I couldn't get back up
I couldn't get back up"

She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here
On the corner most every night for the last six years
When she's not there
When she's not there
When she's not there
I worry about her
I worry about her
Think of all of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
All of the women (All of the women)
Who disappear
Who disappear

Who disappear
Who disappear
Who disappear
Who disappear
Who disappear
