Richard Wright (musician) - Woman of Custom lyrics

[Chorus 1/Intro] Woman of custom just severed ties What never changed had always died, so Suddenly she's opened eyes That fill with tears and come alive [Verse 1] Her stifled love sleeping forever was Unaroused like changeless weather And little chance that she was ever Going to smash the precious measure [Chorus 2] She never lived with pain, fear or anger Windowless and tame like a precious stone langoured A heart enchained, willing to surrender But now if storms would only blow She could really feel the roll [Verse 2] Those years of sleep, all waking dreams Unpeopled places on painted screens And diffused in subdued streams Her life was cast, traditional schemes [Chorus 2] She never lived with pain, fear or anger Windowless and tame like a precious stone langoured A heart enchained, willing to surrender But now if storms would only blow Then she could really feel the roll She could really feel the roll [Verse 3] A hunger that lasts can have no pain It's just these words that don't explain Eaten alive and spat aout again They jam in the memory like ancient remains [Chorus 1/Outro]
