The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize and finally bind me The downy softness of herself forever lingering behind me Never ever has there been nor will ever be again I want someone to give you love, tenderness and be your friend Hanging on 'til the bitter end Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need I've tried to look inside myself To find the strength from which to draw from I'm turnin' inside out and tryin' to see me from the view she saw from But since she tried to go too deep limitations brought her down And though I'd like to free her mind, visitation's a frown I gotta find the place she found You can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there Where she is no one seems to know The silken sky has swallowed her up or so it seems The morning mist that looks upon the meadow brings a touch of sorrow The one I've kissed is all alone and may or may not know tomorrow Just an ordinary girl to the ordinary eye And so much deeper glows the vein than the glittering gold You gotta touch, and you gotta hold Now, you can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
