You know when a song just touches you to the core and you can't help but cry every time you hear it? The song "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush is such a song for me. The words just pull at me and I can't explain why. You can find the song on imeem. You'll need to sign up for free to hear the whole song.
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, 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 have a lot of strength left.
I know you have 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
Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.
(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have 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
Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.
Ultimately the song is about birth to me, but at the same time it could be applied to anyone going through a tough time, with the refrain "I know you've got a little life in you yet, I know you've got a lot of strength left". I'm dedicating this song to a special friend of mine. You know who you are.
