Songwriter's Woman
Words and Music by Harry Chapin

You were a songwriter's woman
And you taught me with I wanted to know
You were a songwriter's woman
And you took me where I wanted to go
Keep on singing your music you see
Your songs keep bringing you back here to me
You were a songwriter's woman
And your life goes on like a melody

You were so much wiser than the few years of your youth
You know I need much more than the truth
So you can rely
Your eyes let me know
Just what you were thinking of
And you showed me many ways 
To fall in love

You were a songwriter's woman
And you taught me with I wanted to know
You were a songwriter's woman
And you took me where I wanted to go
Keep on singing your music you see
Your songs keep bringing you back here to me
You were a songwriter's woman
And your life goes on like a melody

It seems I was always there
Just breaking your heart
And that I simply watched you
Fall apart
In front of my eyes
But before too long
Your laughter would return
That would mean that 
Once again he learned

You were a songwriter's woman
And you taught me with I wanted to know
You were a songwriter's woman
And you took me where I wanted to go
Keep on singing your music you see
Your songs keep bringing you back here to me
You were a songwriter's woman
And your life goes on like a melody

I could have been playing
On a one-string violin
You were magic
You were calling
You were tragic
You were sane then
You were sane

You were a songwriter's woman
And you life goes on like a melody.
