GIBBONS, Beth

Glory Box

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room.

Give me a reason to love you
…..

So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look
From our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
…..

It's all I wanna be, is all a woman
For this is the beginning
Of forever and ever
It's time to move over
It's all I want to be

I'm so tired of playing

Wandering Stars

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief

For it's such a lovely day

To have to always feel this way

And the time that I will suffer less

Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
