martyn joseph - this being woman (2008) lyrics

[verse 1]
you stand now in the pension queue
with secrets of the former you
and handheld strolls on seaside piers
dinner dances and the tears

[verse 2]
hen nights and the going dutch
skin that men so long to touch
the stomach howl of childbirth
this never knowing what you’re worth

[chorus]
this being woman, being old
invisible your unsaid gold
you’re still sensuous with mystery
the silk of who you’ve yet to be
doo doo doo doo, doo doo

[verse 3]
and you remember tumbling things
the fresh and fluid light of spring
the fractious children, midnight mass
the almost lover’s hеady pass

[verse 4]
and the saving for that summer cruise
and еvery month the piercing blues
the lipsticks bought, that cashmere coat
a husband gone without a note
[chorus]
this being woman, being old
invisible your unsaid gold
you’re still sensuous with mystery
the silk of who you’ve yet to be
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo, doo doo, yeah
doo doo doo, sha la la la la la la la la la la

[harmonica solo]

[verse 5]
the christmas shopping on your own
the ecstasy you should have known
the dreams and dust of wedding vows
the silence, darkness, funerals, rows

[verse 6]
albums full of photographs
sunflowers and those mountain paths
olive grove and the gasping kiss
too much time to reminisce

[verse 7]
and the jewelry with that silver cross
cherry sunsets and the loss
the role of a mother, you’re a friend, you’re a wife
this gallery of all your life
[chorus]
this being woman, being old
invisible and unsaid gold
you’re still sensuous with mystery
the silk of who you’ve yet to be
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo yi
doo doo doo, sha la la la la la la la la la la la la, yeah
this, this being woman, being old
invisible your unsaid gold
you’re still sensuous with the mystery
the silk of who you’ve yet to be
