I long to be a woman now

1.
Break down the barrier of youthful years
Unveil the halls of earthly desire
Draw me into the depths, my poet
Of madly yearning snares on fire

It’s time to leave maidenhood behind
To taste love’s burning honey sweet
My soul is rushing now to love
To melt the heart’s thin frozen sheet

Chorus:
I long to be a woman now
To love, to suffer, to avow
To bear as many children as I may
Let all remember me as mother one day

2.
Among the blazing, roaring flames
Open the gates of blissful skies
Tear off the veil of innocence
Give me your passion wild and wise

I’ll take your flesh in love so deep
Unfold the secret of each bloom
And through the pain of opening
I’ll lift life’s veil, dispel the gloom

Chorus:
I wish to be a woman true
To tremble in embraces too
To know both joy and sorrow’s art
And walk with you to golden parts
