Tina Dico — The Woman Downstairs

I ceremonially undress For she who in my dreams reveals how she longs and she cares I take off all my clothes For the woman downstairs The faded cotton shirt The woollen jacket from a time when the Lord still answered my prayers I let fall my black armour For the woman downstairs I get into the bath Let the water trickle through my mind's lonely affairs I give my longing body To the woman downstairs I give her my ears and my eyes I give her my future and my past They're both full of questions and lies But I've got a feeling she'll never ask Where I'm going I'm going down To the woman downstairs In my dream I lay her on a blanket Wild berries stain the fragile dress she wears She can have my soul and keep it The woman downstairs I give her my ears and my eyes I give her my future and my past They're both full of questions and lies But I've got a feeling she'll never ask Where I'm going Well, I'm going down To the woman downstairs Yeah, I'm going down To the woman downstairs
