I'm sorry I dont know the meaning I just anted to add that I love that song, and I know its morbid to think about but that is one of my funeral songs.

Just found this - The haunting and beautiful ballad "This Woman's Work" about a young unexpected mother-to-be who doesn't seem prepared, and is sung from the POV of a worried mother who anguishes over things she should've spoken to/or done with her daughter. Her vocals rise to a crescendo when she sings "Oh darling, make it go away" as in the feelings of angst.

The first time I heard This Womans Work was when I watched She's Having A Baby and it moved me to tears. I never knew it was written specifically for the film but I would recommend seeing the film if you love the song, it's not a great film and it's perhaps a bit schmaltzy but it's worth it to hear the song in context (particularly if you're in the mood for a good cry!)
