You'll never know a woman's heart
just can't see that far
down such a long and pretty road
that you'll never go

Well you might haunt her every dream
and you might have a name she screams
and you can tear her world apart
and never know
a woman's heart

She will build you such a home
of swirling blood and salty bones
and you will feel all big and bold
strong and whole
Then out of nowhere she will go
short and sharp and icy cold
and she will stare right through your soul
like you're the pane of a dirty window

You'll never know a woman's heart
no one can see through the dark
but you can let the thunder roll
until it's gone

So open wide your hammer chest
put down your bag, pick up your best
believe the fire from the spark resides within

Underneath warm salty water
understand that heaven's daughter
is deeply scarred without a mark
and forever loves you
with a woman's heart

but you'll never know
