Song lyrics
See the old lady
forgetting to cry.
Windswept clothes,
caught in her eye.
Look at she now
Look at she now,
Standing in mid-air
so dusty and dry,
Ancient dreams
a shower of sighs.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
The ribbon unwinds
a bride and groom,
Streams of joy
an echoing womb.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
The pieces all broken,
|
picked up one by one.
Here a fragrant flower,
here an endless son.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
She had no choice,
her choice they spent.
Remember the fears
Their voices would blend.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
She found an answer,
who asked them why.
Heard these many years now,
The days go by.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
Look at she now,
Look at she now.
