Woman
From
Jubilee
2023 FreshGrass song cycle commission
Becky Buller, Goodnight Sparky Music, BMI

I’m chasing a thread
Flaxen and
fi
ne
To spin me a web
Of tune and rhyme
Something that heals
Or has a story to impart
Yet never reveals
My inmost heart
Chorus 1:
Don’t mind the woman behind the words
Although she’s aching to be heard
She’s been told that she’s absurd
And second-rated
The woman behind the words
The woman behind the words
With open hands
I catch and release
Each candle
fly
Of my legacy
My thanks again
To those who made the choice
To take them all in
And give these songs a voice...just...
Chorus 2:
Don’t mind the woman behind the words
Although she’s aching to be heard
She’s seen her share of the absurd
And now she’s jaded
The woman behind the words
The woman behind the words
