I found the lyrics for the first two original versions:

Woman (Version 1)
When the night turns mean on you,
And the day is dry,
And there's no water around,
And you can't see the road ahead,
You can only see her
White and alive.
She's laughing in the face of love.
Your love is white and alive.
This is your last chance in my dreams.
In my dreams she stands over me.
Surrounded on all sides,
She has taken the higher ground.
And I'm the willing victim of her love.
And faith my favorite drug,
And faith my favorite drug,
I'm sick for love.
Sick for her love.
Sick foods you sell.
Just the sight of you makes me wobble.
I can't see straight, walk or talk to anyone else.
I can't even talk to you.
White and alive.
I'm laughing in the face of your face.
White and alive.
Sick for love.
Sick for love.
So, between the horses of love and lust
I'm trampled underfoot.
Woman (Version 2)
And the day is dry.
And there's no water.
And you can't see the road ahead,
You can only see her.
White and alive.
You're holding on to all the same old love.
Why don't you cry, don't turn away
Away, lonesome love.
Woman.
Viva woman, say.
She hides behind you openly,
Woman.
She looks at me...
Woman.
She hides alone within, alone inside.
She makes a mirror in, all around,
All around, now,
I'm only walking in her love.
Woman, Woman.
Girl that leave you, may be a woman.
To turn you on and leave you on too high.
We walk in love.
We fall in love.
Woman.
Empty heart.
Take your coat off.
Take your coat off.
Away from the moving heart.
To high, anymore.
Your dark and cluttered heart.
And there's a quietness
That comes to this house
Where nobody can sleep.
