Woman in the wings
(© Ko-Do 2003)

Version 2013


Version 2002


When I was a young boy
I wanted to learn all about life
My ambition did burn
But summer is hot and winter is cold
That's just about all that I've been told

I wanted to know about the bigger things
I had to wait for the woman in the wings

When I was a young man
I wanted to learn all about love
My fever did burn
But bodies can be hot and hearts can be cold
That's just about all that I've been told

When I wanted to know about the bigger things
I had to wait for the woman in the wings

Now that I'm old
I really learned a lot and people ask me now
What have I got
But life can be icy or hot as hell
That's just about all that I will tell

If they want to know about the bigger things
They'll have to wait for the woman in the wings
