You'll be their big hero
It's cold to leave a woman with family
Her ambitions
Is a sorry indication of how time can brutalise her
It's chill factor
But how can she pursue
Chill factor
On her own
To somebody else's fall
Shower them with presents
Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
To the bone
But what about the other?
It's chill factor
You took her wings and flew
Well it's cold to leave a woman with family
Be they great or small
She wants to be a good mother
Take away the faith and goodbye tomorrow
It's cold to leave a woman with family
So she'll do the best she can
Things she could never buy
Whenever you make it home
When the hard part's over
Your rise was due
To the bone
What about the man?
But a change has changed the girl
But remember when you're through
It's chill factor
On her own
Delight them with your stories
Resignation in her sighs
On her own
Take away the hope and the will, will follow
She had her dreams too
About the great big, the great big world outside but dig
And the kids have almost grown
