She's getting older
|
Yeah, she's getting wise
|
But a change has changed the girl
|
Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
|
|
She wants to be a good mother
|
So she'll do the best she can
|
But what about the other
|
What about the man
|
|
Well it's cold to leave a woman
|
With family on her own
|
It's chill factor
|
To the bone
|
|
Resignation
|
In her sighs
|
Is a sorry indication
|
Of how time
|
Can brutalise
|
|
Take away the hope
|
And the will will follow
|
Take away the faith
|
And goodbye tomorrow
|
|
Well it's cold to leave a woman
|
With family on her own
|
It's chill factor
|
To the bone
|
|
She had her dreams too
|
But how can she pursue
|
Her ambitions, be they great or small
|
|
You took her wings and flew
|
But remember when you're through
|
Your rise was due
|
To somebody else's fall
|
|
When the hard part's over
|
And the kids are almost grown
|
You'll be their big hero
|
Whenever you make it home
|
Shower them with presents
|
Things she could never buy
|
Delight them with your stories
|
About the great big, great big world outside
|
But dig -
|
|
It's cold to leave a woman
|
With family on her own
|
It's chill factor
|
Chill factor
|
To the bone
|
