Oh, how I wish to be a woman Pale and silent Thin and fragile Who could bear to sit still Bear to sit still for hours Oh, how I wish to appear Like a cat Wide open eyes Occupied by my own mind Moving in waves Moving in waves for days And oh, how I wish to be What I feel like, sometimes How I want to be strong and brave I'm stronger than I have to And as brave as I can be But only when things Only when things have no value to me And, oh, how I wish to be part of my songs The way they're being parts of me The places I go when I write That's where I quietly observe Silently observe my life The places I go when I write That's where I silently Secretly observe my life
