[verse]
N.C.
The glow
N.C.
Around your face
N.C.
When you see
N.C.
The lightning race
N.C.
I know
N.C
I'm very near
N.C.
And I can hear
N.C.
The thunder


[Chorus]
        
A woman
             
Of perplexity

 
       
A woman
        
For eternity
      
A woman
           
Of the land
        
A woman
         
For a man


[Verse]
        
I'm down
          
On my knees
             
And I'm saying

 
            
Please believe

 
 me
        
It's hard
      
To fall out
       
Of love
      
Completely
      
It's harder
            
To find a way

 
             
To come back


     
Discreetly
        
To speak
             
Of things anew

  
        
To weep
       
In quiet blue
       
Brocade
            
Upon your bed

 
              
Memories shoul

       
d fade
            
At least of yo

   
u
        
A sceptre
            
Of ice and fir

   
e
          
A spectre
         
Of my desire
           
A girl-child


            
Of such loveli

  
ness


[Chorus]
         
The woman
         
Of my emptines

s
       
A woman
            
Of famed renow


n
       
A woman
            
Who kicks the 

   
clown
       
A woman
             
Of the land


        
A woman
    
For a man
