Woman's Duality
A song I started writing many years ago. Dug it up in a very old .doc file, figured I'd try to touch it up and finish it. Being frank, I doubt this is one that'd ever strike it #1, though it's a strong track for any country or folk album. This is one of those songs that actually has quite a lot to say in very few words. I'm happy and proud with how it turned out. The last verse is my favorite, though it'll just read as XXXXX here. Though if anyone likes the first few verses, the last one is the strongest. It says the most metaphorically in the least amount of words. That's what songwriting's supposed to do, I guess. I like it enough to include it here. Plus, this is the way many men feel. Women with their contradictory nature at times... it can get -- well, let's just say "odd."

She loves me and loathes me
In equal measures shows me
Her warm hand brushes cool to the touch
To own me yet loan me
To hold me but throw me
The loose chain wrapped around's tight enough
She whispers and screams that
I shut down or talk back
She pulls me ever closer with a shove
She scolds me, consoles me
Frees me to control me
The duality of the woman I love
(Chorus)
It's the same old change
She never shows
Yet demands for you to see
It's the night and day
It's the go to stay
It's a woman's duality
She kisses me just to bite me
Longs for me to spite me
Tells me what to do to expect I don't
It certainly is it might be
Throws me out to invite me
Same difference 'tween "I will" and "I won't"
(Chorus)
Tranquil words to chastise me
Alerts all to surprise me
A calm voice to call during a storm
She skims low to soar highly
Stolid conduct feats wisely
She chills me to the bone to stay warm
(Chorus)
