The Cry of His Woman

Verse 1
The evening falls so quiet
She’s staring at his face
A picture in her trembling hands
Time frozen in this place

I stand here in the doorway
Watching tears she can’t outrun
And every tear keeps whispering
The name of her lost son

Chorus
And the cry of his woman
Keeps calling through the night
Through the tears and the silence
Through the dark without a light

When a mother keeps praying
For the boy she’s still loving
What remains in this world
Is the cry of his woman

Verse 2
She writes to him in pages
Like he’s still somewhere near
Sometimes through the darkness
She swears his voice appears

I see the way she listens
To the space where he has been
And I know a mother’s heart
Still holds the child within

Chorus
And the cry of his woman
Keeps calling through the night
Through the tears and the silence
Through the dark without a light

When a mother keeps praying
For the boy she’s still loving
What remains in this world
Is the cry of his woman

Soft Bridge (spoken)

“For me it was June twelfth, 2025…
the day my dear Jesse stepped out of this life.”

Final Verse – Jesse
Mama don’t be afraid now
Every word you write is true
Through the quiet I’m beside you
And my love still walks with you

When the night becomes too heavy
And your tears begin to fall
I am closer than the silence
Watching over you through all

Final Chorus (bigger)
And the cry of his woman
Keeps calling through the night
And her love keeps on shining
Like a far distant light

For a mother keeps loving
Even when life has left one
And her heart keeps his name
In the cry of his woman

Outro (whisper)
Mama… I never really left.
