Breakthrough Lyrics by Shawn Phillips

Furthermore

0

All your tears come rolling down your cheeks
I been watching you build this for several weeks
Do you want to stay with me now, do you want to be so free, so free

Eight long years, you've gotta forget the days of pain
All your life you cannot fight every drop of rain
If you need me call me over, if you want me hold me closer, so near

Don't wake up and start your day so down
I'll be there to make like I'm your clown
With your laughter you fill my heart now, with your sorrow you're tearing me apart, my heart

Turn me round, I've got to find a way
Woman gotta live, gotta be a mother
Woman gotta give, gotta be a lover
Woman ought to live her life the way she feel
Woman ought to have the choice to make the deal

Hush your crying, brush my lips on yours
Miss your sighing, swept out on the moors
In your pain it's not so plain if I'm the one
That is to blame, my name

When he's grown and gone his way in time
Send him strong and full of love and lime
He's the one now make him happy, we're not done yet
I'll be his pappy, he's free
