The Widow歌词

Suzanne Vega - Widow's Walk
Consider me a widow, boys
and I will tell you why.
It's not the man, but it's 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 there's 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 will have to tell you this
Though I grieve and I believe
I feel it truly
But I knew that ship was empty
by the time it hit the rocks,
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?
I'll set my house in order now
and wait upon the Will
It's 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 all omens
point to fail
That line is the horizon.
We watch the wind and set the sail,
But save ourselves when all omens
point to fail
point to fail
