Lyrics

Woman of God

Wicked wind is out there
Wild cats in the night won't leave me alone
Horses are swimming in the warm ocean bay
And the smile of your shadow has followed me home

Some of these rooms are empty
Mysterious truth pervades the air
All I ever wanted was happiness forever I
Wonder why I no longer care

Who is this creature stealing my moments ?
What does he want, how does he dare ?
What is the nature of the science of love ?
I will not go I have nothing to wear

Why didn't somebody tell me ?
I would have taken the hint and gladly
All of these years I have wasted my time
I couldn't save my life to save
My life . .

What have we learned from all of this violence
Trapped on this planet with uncivilized foes
Doomed to oppression by our own limitation
Is clearly what the evidence shows

One day while I was walking along in the jungle
I was stalked by a tiger who thought he was tough
He wanted to fly over the Bermuda triangle cause
Nothing I do is ever good enough . .

Wanted to be Woman of God
I had visions of love dancing round in my head
Wanted to renounce this miserable world
So of course I became a drunk instead

Why didn't somebody tell me ?
I would have taken the hint and gladly
All of these years I have wasted my time
I couldn't save my life to save
My life . . .
