Lyrics
Woman
Caught behind those burning eyes
Tangled up in morning white
Do you ever really know?
Can you ever really know?

Woman
Watch her take me by surprise
When she lets me call her mine
Do you ever really know?
Can you ever really know?

And I don't know the loneliness she long
I don't hear the frosty words that call inside
When you're gone again

I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes
As the night descends, it's always slow again
I am left in awe of the woman I adore, oh

Woman
I never had such a sign
Burn itself into my mind
Do you ever really know?
Can you ever really know?

You say the sun doesn't shine for you
I hope you learning that's not true, in time
When you're gone again
Just as long again

I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes
As the night descends, oh it's always slow again
But I am left in awe of the woman I adore

I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes
And as the night descends, it's always slow again
But I am left in awe of the woman I adore
