Because of a few songs –
Wherein I spoke of their mystery –
Women have been –
Exceptionally kind –
To my old age –

They make a secret place –
In their busy lives –
And they take me there –
They become naked –
In their different ways –
And they say: –

Look at me, Leonard –
Look at me one last time –
Then they bend over the bed –
And cover me up –
Like a baby that is shivering –
