about

This song started out as a poem bearing my frustration at the irony of the modern woman's plight - that in order to be strong and independent, we often have to hide our true vulnerabilities.., and end up being misunderstood.

lyrics

You ask me why we haven't been in touch.
Why we're not as close now as before...
I stutter in amazement.
It's so obvious to me.
An outstretched hand was left wanting....
So turned away from thee.

These days we women see the truth:
There's no sense in just waiting endlessly...
For romance and being swept off your feet
are luxuries of eras past.

The modern woman faces her plight
with grace and dignity.
Her independence, wit, and intellect
by society so esteemed,
are-double-edged-deterrents
few a knight has truly seen.

So... modern man,
should you ever understand
the yearnings of a woman's heart
be gentle yet persistent for our love
and we promise to do our part...

You ask me why we haven't been in touch.
Why we're not as close now as before...
