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
