Gentle Woman lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus}
Lord, send me a gentle woman
O my soul
Is heavy from living
Too long in this world alone

[Verse 2]
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
