You don't know where you're going to turn
You squirm when the sweetness comes, you turn it into ammunition
With the use of a cynical smile, a typical defence
I can see you getting cold, so cold
In the sweetness it could clothe you
In the sweetness it turns yellow for your soul
In the sweetness it could hold you
But you stay blue with cool
She's there inside you, that woman
And she wants to let the heavens in
Softly now softly now
Inside you, that woman
Come on, let her bring the heavens in
Softly softly now
But you stand strong and here it comes
That something that you can say
To keep the tenderness at bay
Can't suck feeling from all that
It just stands up hard and strong
Like an aimless gun, like a loveless cum
You put armour on hte music in your soul
You put a maze into your garden
You put a spike inside your smile
And only your dreams can know that love is your aim
She's there inside you, that woman
And she wants to let the heavens in
Softly now softly now
Inside you, that woman
Softly now, softly softly softly softly now
I know she will be calling you
One day teh snake's going to charm you
All the way to paradise
Make sure she doesn't bite you first
You'll know when she's done this
You will feel a great divide
You will think that she is danger
You won't even know theway to say hello
You will think she means invader
When all the time she could have charmed you out of all this
She's there inside you, that woman
And she wants to let the heavens in
Softly now softly now
Inside you, that woman
Come on, let her bring the heavens in
Softly now
Softly now
Softly now
'Cause don't you know the boys will appreciate her too
'Cause she's been sleeping, sleeping
It's been a long long sleep
Kiss her she's your princess
She's your princess
