What Makes A Woman


I was staring up at the dark night’s summer sky
amazed by the distance I could see with my eye
the stars whispered rumours of a beauty sublime
that echoed back to the beginning of time

like an innocent cartographer charting the unknown
like an alchemist in search of the philosopher’s stone
I sought to understand the wonders that I saw
but my theories unravelled with just one flaw

Chorus - I can tell you why water falls from the sky
tell you how a tear is formed in the eye
but for all my erudition, I don’t think I can
tell you, what makes a woman love a man

I could climb a ladder to the stars and pull down heaven’s fire
burn like a flame with the purest of desire
smoulder with the passion of a dragon in his lair
float on filaments of gossamer and dance thru the air

I could step out from my door and thru these valleys roam
gather wisdom worthy of king Solomon’s throne
eloquently expound upon the matters of this world
but these inscriptions of the heart would leave me a fool - Chorus

Bridge - she used to watch me play at the market
left a five dollar bill that I’d save in my wallet
she’ comin thru the doorway like sunshine pours into a room
she’s got me writing verses like a weaver
with a rainbow on his loom

there are mystics who say that the universe is one
and Galileo knew his heart circled the sun
Newton could tell you why the apple fell
but how do you explain this love when you’re under it’s spell

I have looked upon the stars and wondered how it all began
pondered my existence in the lines of my hand
been haunted by a memory like a house by a ghost
but it’s the mystery of you that puzzles me most - Chorus
