Three Women - Carrie Newcomer

There’s a light in the kitchen

There’s a glass on the stand

Three women round the table

And they’re holding hands

They’re care taking the birthings

Bringing food when they can

They’re easin' the leavin'

And they’re holding hands

Love can get tangled

And jumbled sometimes

You can lose your way in this world

You can lose your mind

But there’s something love

In which I can depend

It’s the strength in women

Holding hands

The night can be dark

So dark and wild

And life burns like a diamond

It’s unbearably hard

But it’s sweeter than honesty

Right from the jar

Your eyes have the look

Of some different place

You’ve got one foot in heaven

And one still in this land

So we breathe it in deep

And we let it out slow

We’re holding up up

While you’re letting us go

There’s a free falling feeling

I’m lighter than air and home burns

Like a beacon in your eyes

But somehow we get anchored

Somehow we get by

Here’s to the women

Who bind the wounds tight

Here’s to the ones

Who sit talking half of the night

Here’s to the love

And the life that they mend

And here’s to the strength

In women holding hands

And here’s to the strength

In women holding hands

And here’s to the strength

In women holding hands
