I Am Woman The Essential Helen Reddy Collection lyrics

seven years wash up behind me
and i'm wondering what the time is
it's a question of perception
i don't want you with hurt

there's an old man in the corner
in his sunk and withered features
see reflections of my future
will you join me there

i'm here to find the watershed
to shake the past away
drown me in a pool of tears
and start another day

now i've swallowed down the poison
