A woman's place was in my home Sitting, crying on the sofa Until she'd stop, I'd face the clock And then I'd fade away A woman's place was on her own While I worked, And when I roam But in my heart, That woman's love Became everything You think you know, you think you've learned From broken hearts, And fingers burned But on the streets, In Fife they'd say A clown finds out the hard way You'd think they'd know, you'd think they'd learn From bittered tears, And fingers burned But in this town, On any day A clown finds out the hard way A woman's place Is here with me If I can see it, Why can't she But now she's gone, I find she's strong Well I just fade away, Boy, I just fade away A woman's place, a woman's place, a woman's place.
