This Woman’s Work

Pray to God you can cope, I’ll stand outside
This woman’s work, this woman’s world
Oh, it’s hard on the man, now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you’ve got a lot of strength left
I know you’ve got a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can’t let it show
I should be hoping but I can’t stop thinking

All the things we should’ve said that I never said
And all the things we should of done that we never did
All the things we should’ve given but I didn’t

Oh, darling make it go, make it go away

Give me these moments, give them back to me
Give me a little kiss, give me your, give me your hand, babe
Give me that pretty hand to show you understand
My love, child. Whatever you need
Give me your hand, give me your hand

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left

Should be crying but I just can’t let it go
Should be hoping but I can’t stop thinking, thinking, thinking

Of all the things we should’ve said that we never said
All the things we should’ve done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that that you needed from me
All the things I should of given but I didn’t

Oh, darling make it go
Just make it go away
