Lyrics

The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize

The captivating and enchanting beauty of the sky

And finally blind me

Overwhelms and blinds me

The downy softness of herself forever lingering

The soft and delicate essence of a woman lingers indefinitely

Behind me

Remains behind me as a lasting presence

Never ever has there been

No one has ever given or will give again

Nor will ever be again

A unique person providing love, tenderness, and friendship

One someone to give you love, tenderness and be

Enduring until the end

Your friend

The emotional cost of losing a woman is immeasurable

Hanging on till the bitter end

A profound loss for those who are in need

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost

Expressing the inability to quantify the impact of losing a woman

But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.

Acknowledging the substantial emotional burden for those in need


I've tried to look inside myself

Reflecting on an attempt to understand oneself

To find the strength from which to draw from

Seeking inner strength

The view she saw from.

Referencing the perspective she had

Since she tried to go too deep

Describing a failed attempt to delve too deeply into oneself

Limitations brought her down

Being brought down by limitations

And though I'd like to free her mind

Expressing a desire to free her mind

Visitations bring a frown

Unpleasant feelings arising from visits or encounters

I gotta find the place she found

Searching for the mental state she discovered

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost

Reiterating the immeasurable emotional cost of losing a woman

But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.

Highlighting the weight of the loss when she is absent

Where she is no one seems to know

The whereabouts of the woman are unknown

The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.

Implying that the vastness of the sky has engulfed her


The morning mist that melts upon the meadow

The mist in the morning symbolizes sadness

Brings a touch of sorrow

The one kissed is left alone with uncertainty about the future

The one I kissed is all alone

Describing an ordinary girl to a casual observer

And may or may not know tomorrow.

Uncertainty about whether she knows what tomorrow holds

Just an ordinary girl

Highlighting the simplicity of an ordinary girl

To the ordinary eye

Seen as ordinary superficially

But so much deeper goes the vein

Emphasizing the depth of her character

Like the glittering of gold you want to touch

Comparing her depth to the allure of gold

Then you gotta hold

The desire to touch and hold what is precious

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.

Reiterating the immeasurable emotional cost of losing a woman
