WomanChild staggers
A hesitative step
How can they expect a girl to walk in stride
She can't stand erect without someone beside
WomanChild falters
Clumsy on her feet
Wonderin' where she'll go
When her time has come
Good she'll never know
Until she comes undone

Le front caché sur tes genoux
J'ai sangloté toute ma peine
Il faisait sombre autour de nous
Et le soir sentait la verveine
Mon cœur battait à tristes coups
Comprenant sa tendresse vaine
Le front caché sur tes genoux
J'ai sangloté toute ma peine
Tu me disais des mots très doux
Mais je les entendais à peine
Je revivais l'heure lointaine
Où je faisais des rêves fous
Le front caché sur tes genoux

John Henry was a little baby sittin' on his Papa's knees
Well he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel, said
“This hammer's gonna be the death of me
This hammer's gonna be the death of me”
John Henry said to his Captain
“Now a man ain't nothin' but a man
Before I let your steel drill bring me down
I will die with that hammer in my
I'll die with that hammer in my hand”
John Henry said to his shaker,
“Now shaker, why don't you sing?
Shakin’ twelve pounds from my hip bone down
Now don’t you hear that cold steel ring
Don’t you hear that cold steel ring”
John Henry hammered in the mountain
And the mountain it was so high
And the last words that I heard that poor man cry, he said
“Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Give me a cool drink of water before I die”
John Henry went down that railroad track
With a twelve pound hammer by his side
Yes he went down the track but he never came back
Because he laid down his hammer and he
He laid down his hammer and he
He laid down his hammer and he died
John Henry had a little woman
And the dress that she wore was red
And the last words that I heard that poor girl said, she says
“I’m going where John Henry fell dead
I’m going where John Henry fell dead”

A fool did sing of sweet love
And everything that Spring could bring
But what of days gone by
And what of all the silence
That feeling with no name
Deep

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 4 fans who also own “WomanChild”
Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten.
