You don't know where you're going to turn   You squirm when the sweetness comes, you turn it into ammunition   With the use of a cynical smile, a typical defence   i can see you getting cold, so cold   In the sweetness it could clothe you   In the sweetness it turns yellow for your soul   In the sweetness it could hold you   But you stay blue with cool      She's there inside you, that woman   And she wants to let the heavens in   Softly now softly now   Inside you, that woman   Come on, let her bring the heavens in   Softly softly now      But you stand strong and here it comes   That something that you can say   To keep the tenderness at bay   Can't suck feeling from all that   It just stands up hard and strong   like an aimless gun, like a loveless cum   You put armour on hte music in your soul   You put a maze into your garden   You put a spike inside your smile   And only your dreams can know that love is your aim      She's there inside you, that woman   And she wants to let the heavens in   Softly now softly now   Inside you, that woman   Softly now, softly softly softly softly now      I know she will be calling you   One day teh snake's going to charm you   All the way to paradise   Make sure she doesn't bite you first   You'll know when she's done this   You will feel a great divide   You will think that she is danger   You won't even know theway to say hello   You will think she means invader   When all the time she could have charmed you out of all this      She's there inside you, that woman   And she wants to let the heavens in   Softly now softly now   Inside you, that woman   Come on, let her bring the heavens in   Softly now   Softly now   Softly now      'Cause don't you know the boys will appreciate her too   'Cause she's been sleeping, sleeping   It's been a long long sleep   Kiss her she's your princess   She's your princess
