A Woman is a Prism Lyrics by Eric Andersen

More Hits From Tin Can Alley

0

(Verse 1)
A creature of the open skies, that’s how she wants to be
Unhampered like the waves and grass
That are weaving rhythmically
And speaking through her skin she does
The language of the leaves
Then tripping by the water’s edge like Huckleberry Finn
Seeking her reflection, then seeking it again
And looking like the flowers do, with no sense of sin

(Chorus)
But as a woman who looks like timelessness, her I don’t recall
But as a lover who just took me now, this one, I do know best of all

(Verse 2)
She's a child spoken for no one and always full of needs
Expecting full attention just to show that she can please
She’s a broken promise keeper, wanting so bad to believe
In something that would need her much, that could lead her fearlessly
Even if it to were a prison dark, she’d give away the keys
It if simply took her by the hand and promised not to leave

(Chorus)
But as a woman who looks like timelessness, her I don’t recall
But as a lover who just took me now, this one, yes I do know best of all

(Verse 3)
A lover with an open mind that thinks of love so free
Believing it a rightful thing to be taken openly
All except for the lover who’s in her eyes
Whom she guards most jealously
But always keeping proper distances and happy just as long
She is waiting for the moment when she knows her time has come
Then she’s patient like a snowflake that’s falling to the sun

(Chorus)
But as a woman who looks like timelessness, her I don’t recall
But as a lover who just took me now, this one, I do know best of all
