Cerise

Oh Cerise you are coming down off your cloud
You just can’t rely on wicked men
They have taken you for granted

Oh Cerise don’t let ‘em come around
Hold you close, make you the talk of the town
They have taken you for granted

You don’t need no lover
You just need a friend
For there will be others
But for now, contend and you will stand

One day over the mountains
A much better woman for any man
And you will be stronger
For all you have suffered
Keep your heart of gold

Oh Cerise don’t let em’ get you down
This ol’ love, it’ll push you round all over
But your heart keeps on beating

Oh my dear you will come around
Don’t you fear, you will find the ground
Take it from me… and I speak from experience

And try to remember
What you hold in your hands
For you are a mother
Teach your son to be a better man
And you will stand

One day over the mountains
A much better woman for any man
And you will be stronger
For all you have suffered
Keep your heart of gold
There’s a man who’s sold
On your love somewhere somewhere
Keep your heart of gold
There’s a man who’s sold
On your love somewhere
