THIS LADY I KNOW
This Lady I know is still searchin' in sorrow
This Lady I see is still cryin' in pain an'
I feel her sadness through walls up between us
She's got so much loss and jus' nothin' to gain
An' I wish I could take all the ladies jus' like her
An' tell'em about all the Songs they could sing
About all the Good Stuff that Life has to give them
About all the fine days and nights Life can bring
This Lady I know cries her dear self to sleep
An' it's harder than hell for her to have good days
She can't seem to even see straight for the worries
She walks like a sleep-walker through her dark ways
An' I wish I could take all the ladies jus' like her
An' tell'em about all the Dances to dance
About all the Beauty each day holds for jus' them
About all the fine loves and the sweet kind romance
This Lady I know has been round the block plenty
She knows that there's love and she's had some good friends
She lives alone proudly but lonely and brave an'
She makes no apologies makes no amends
An' I wish I could fill all the needs that she wants filled
I wish I teach her one way that I know
But she's not like me and I haven't walked with her
I don't even travel the roads where she goes...
I don't even know all the sorrows she knows
An' I don't know one way that she goes...
I don't know one way that she goes.....

I started to hear a metric pattern that I thought would work, but I just couldn't put it together. I have become so darned stuffy. I'm still working on installing music software (which is driving me up a wall) so that I can both "hear" and "see" musical thoughts. I wrote a song for my daughter shortly after she was born in 1981. It's utterly simple-minded, but the music was in my head before the lyrics.
