Only a Woman Knows

Only a woman knows
The weight of a life
What it’s like to be fed on
A harbour for the storm
Where the miraculous thunder booms
It’s life inside
Only a woman knows
Only a woman knows

If a man knew
Kept his eyes glued
Never withdrew
Let the fear come through

Never a wound he’d sew like cain
Never his life he’d forsake
Never a heart again he’d break
Nor ever take what only a woman can make

Only a woman knows
The price to ride
Goes to the edge
Pulls out her insides
Only a woman knows
Only a woman knows
The price to ride
Only a woman knows

If a man knew
Let the fear come through
Felt the world fall through
Never withdrew

Never a wound he’d sew like cain
Never his life he’d take in vain
Never a heart again he’d break
Nor ever take what only a woman can make
