Widow's Walk

Artist：suzanne vega

Songs Title：widow’s walk

Consider me a widow boys and I will tell you why

Its not the man but its the marriage that was drowned

So I walk the walk and wait with watchful eye out to the sky

Looking for a kind of vessel I have never found

Though I saw it splinter I keep looking out to sea

Like a dog with little sense I keep returning

To the very area where I did see the thing go down

As if theres something at the site I should be learning

That line is the horizon

We watch the wind and set the sail

But save ourselves when all omens

Point to fail

If I tell the truth then I would have to tell you this;

Though I grieve （and I believe I feel it truly）

I knew that ship was empty by the time it hit the rocks

Cause we could not hold on when fate became unruly

So consider me a widow boys and I have told you why

Does the weather say a better day is nearing

Il put my house in order now and wait upon the will

Cause its clear that I need better skill in steering

That line is the horizon

We watch the wind and set the sail

But save ourselves when omens

All point to fail
