Gentle Woman

Got a heart on the mend And a head full of tunes Sister sits on the porch Cloud crosses the moon And these whispers of you Leave their doubts in my mind I was searching for words But they're so hard to find Lord, send me a gentle woman O my soul Is heavy from living Too long in this world alone When I get to my home Let that screen door swing wide Open hearts, peaceful tongues Open arms, open eyes I will dance in the hall I will tear down these walls Let my children run free For they are the wisest of us all Lord, send me a gentle woman O my soul Is heavy from living Too long in this world alone
