When she picked up the telephone
His voice came on the line
She said "This can't be happening"
And tears fell from her eyes
She said "What am I supposed to do?"
"I can't handle losing you"
He said "I just had to call and say goodbye"
"One last time"
He said "There are some things in this life"
"That are out of our control"
"Like who we fall in love with"
"And when it's time to go"
She said "What about the plans we had?"
He said "This connection's gettin' bad"
"Now come on baby let me hear you smile"
"One last time"
She started to appologize
For all the things that she'd done wrong
She said "I would've loved you better"
"If only I'd known"
He said "You were the perfect wife"
"Promise me you'll go on with your life"
She said "The boys won't understand"
He said "Tell them Daddy loves them and
"Be strong"
He said "Hun, I've gotta go"
She said "Don't you dare hang up"
"There's so many things I need to say"
"I love you so much"
It was almost like she felt him leave
She cried out "Can you still hear me?"
She fell down on the kitchen floor
When the signal died
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive
One last...(verse 1)
I used to know this woman who had the most beautiful
tattoos on the top sides of both of her hands
she was forty three years old and as far as I know
had never yet been with a man
its not that she wasn't attractive she was beatiful
but its the way that she interacted
she was aggressively passive to the point where she
would of intimidated any myth that ever tried to catch her
on the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
she claimed it is what God resembled
but on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
and this one she explained looked like the devil
I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
how the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
as if anticipating would they be allowed to caress
the sweet flower that they both seemed to hunger (sweet flower)
now maybe I was high but it felt so right
heaven and hell both taped to this womans womb
it didn't make sense how she could commence
touching herself with me wide awake in the same room
now if I've learned anything in my years (my years)
I learned I no longer believe in surprise (in surprise)
but what happened next damn near stole my tears
the tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
they both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
and showed me why she never took some time with a man
they climbed deep inside of this woman's garden
she closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
and I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening
a glimpse of religion a piece of coming closer
to understanding more about what intrigues me most
I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
for each one of em I've hurt
and every time I've been burned
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn
so now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
about Woman taking in all she can
