Now woman
Don’t you feel sad when you see your life go round
And you realize that you’ve been drinking all of your years like wine
You’re gambling with time
And you know you just can’t win
But still you feel that somehow you’ve just got to keep on trying

And woman
It’s your heart I hear crying

Now the young man by your side is your husband
Or so you say
In reality, he’s a link with a past you just can’t replace
You tell the world you’re happy
When you’re lying in his arms
Oh, but his youth has made you hate to see his face

And woman
It’s your heart I see crying

Now you’re standing like some tree
Oh, and the blossom has blown away
And the last leaf has gone crumbling
Tumbling towards the ground
You have nothing to teach me
Just have nothing at all to say
Except to keep on telling me about all the happiness
That you do think you have found

And woman
It’s your heart I hear crying
