thinking and sharing.
is it still there?
the words that comfort and stretch my wings......
lilstening to Melissa Manchester sing the song, "This Lady's Not Home Today."
Got a house on the hill
And it’s constantly filled
With a number of passing acquaintances
But I’m tired and spent
From all the friendships well meant
And the rents getting high on my maintenance, Lord
And it’s constantly filled
With a number of passing acquaintances
But I’m tired and spent
From all the friendships well meant
And the rents getting high on my maintenance, Lord
But, why should I worry about leave’n ‘em there
When nobody’s home when you need ‘em
Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em
When nobody’s home when you need ‘em
Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em
Say do not disturb
This lady’s not home today
This lady’s not home today
Well I can’t be a fool
Though I’d like to come through
With a satin edged blanket for comfort
But, I got needs of my own
I’ve been to long left alone
Without somebody shoulder’n my hurt, Lord
Though I’d like to come through
With a satin edged blanket for comfort
But, I got needs of my own
I’ve been to long left alone
Without somebody shoulder’n my hurt, Lord
But, why should I worry about leave’n them there
When nobody’s home when you need ‘em
Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em, Oh Lord
When nobody’s home when you need ‘em
Even after you love ‘em and feed ‘em, Oh Lord
Say do not disturb me
This lady’s not home today
This lady’s not home today
Time off for good behavior
Time…
Time…
But for now, this song speaks well for me........it resonates with me very deeply.
Lord I pray that you help me find the courage and strength to be on my own......alone again naturally.
