This Woman's Work by Greg Laswell

This one goes out to Jake.





My friend has been excitedly sharing this song for the past 2 days and it is most definitely worth the fuss. Greg Laswell's voice is so smooth and beautiful, you could listen to him for hours - and I have.  The song is a Kate Bush cover, so you could probably check out her version too... but I'm partial to this one.







Lyrics
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
My 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
Ooh
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
Make it go away now
Oh
