I Saw a Woman lyrics

I saw a woman lying in a field

Moving in a most unusual way

I saw a woman lying in a field

She was dreaming - she was dreaming

She spread her arms and legs upon the grass

She closed her eyes and rolled her head around

She spread her arms and legs upon the grass

She was laughing - she was laughing

I watched her from a distance through the trees

Half concerned, half wondering what she'd do

Just then I saw halfway from her to me

Another man was watching too

She curled up in a ball upon her side

Something in her stillness made me sad

I wanted to be sure she was alright

She was crying - she was crying

Everybody needs to be alone

Everybody needs to touch the ground

I looked to see the other man was gone

She walked away without a sound

I passed the man a little further on

He walked the back roads like a haunted soul

Dead leaves and feathers on his dirty coat

He was dreaming - he was dreaming

Later that day inside a bank in town

The woman fixed me with a vacant stare

I saw the dirt beneath her fingernails

Dead leaves and feathers in her hair

I saw a woman lying in a field

Moving in a most unusual way

I saw a woman lying in a field

She was dreaming - she was dreaming

She was dreaming - she was dreaming

She was dreaming - she was dreaming

She was dreaming - she was dreaming
