The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize    And finally blind me   The downy softness of herself forever lingering   Behind me   Never ever has there been    Nor will ever be again   One someone to give you love, tenderness and be   Your friend   Hanging on 'till the bitter end   You can't measure the cost of a woman lost   But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.      I've tried to look inside myself   To find the strength from which to draw from   The view she saw from.   Since she tried to go too deep    Limitations brought her down   And though I'd like to free her mind   Visitations bring a frown    I gotta find the place she found   You can't measure the cost of a woman lost   But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.   Where she is no one seems to know   The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.      The morning mist that melts upon the meadow    Brings a touch of sorrow    The one I kissed is all alone   And may or may not know tomorrow.    Just an ordinary girl   To the ordinary eye   But so much deeper goes the vein    Like the glittering of gold you want to touch    Then you gotta hold   You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.
