Billy Joel — She's Always A Woman (LYRICS)

[ScarabKing]

This song is always played during Mother's Day here in my place. A song for mothers, too.
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in the world.

[inezleszczynska]

Reminds me of a great poem of Wisława Szymborska about woman:

**She must be available, **
**To change, so that nothing really changes.**
**It’s easy, impossible, difficult, worth a try.**
Her eyes, when needed, can be blue, grey,
black, cheerful, full of tears for no reason.
She sleeps with him like any woman, yet the only one in the world.
She will give him four children, no children, one child.
Naive, but gives the best advice.
Weak, but will carry the weight.
She has no sense, but she will.
She reads Jaspers and women’s magazines.
She doesn’t know what the screw is for, but will build a bridge.
Young, always young, still young.
She holds in her hands a sparrow with a broken wing,
her own money for a long and distant journey,
a meat cleaver, a compress, and a glass of vodka.
Where is she running to, isn’t she tired?
Oh, not at all, just a little, very, but it doesn’t matter.
Either she loves him or she’s just stubborn.
For better, for worse, and for heaven’s sake.

I can't think of a Billy Joel song that I don't like
