This is a song about a dear friend whose marriage was ending.
She walks away in sadness, but her eyes are dry.
She’s done with all the madness, but too tired to cry.
As she walks away from the life that she knew,
and faces the choice of what she’s going to do,
there’s another kind of sadness coming through.
Time’s been gentle with her form, and gentle with her face.
She’s kept her youthful beauty, and life has added grace.
Now she’s got her freedom, she’s on her own.
No more disappointments at home.
But she struggles with the thought of being along.
She’s looking for a new friend, who’s gentle and kind.
But as a single mother, her life can’t spare the time.
As she works on her lifetime plan,
if she finds another partner inn a man,
may he love her just as much as he can.
