You Can't Measure The Cost Lyrics - Bread - Bread

The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize 

And finally blind me 

The downy softness of herself forever lingering 

Behind me 

Never ever has there been 

Nor will ever be again 

One someone to give you love, tenderness and be 

Your friend 

Hanging on 'till the bitter end 

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost 

But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.

I've tried to look inside myself 

To find the strength from which to draw from 

The view she saw from. 

Since she tried to go too deep 

Limitations brought her down 

And though I'd like to free her mind 

Visitations bring a frown 

I gotta find the place she found 

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost 

But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there. 

Where she is no one seems to know 

The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.

The morning mist that melts upon the meadow 

Brings a touch of sorrow 

The one I kissed is all alone 

And may or may not know tomorrow. 

Just an ordinary girl 

To the ordinary eye 

But so much deeper goes the vein 

Like the glittering of gold you want to touch 

Then you gotta hold 

You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.
