Widow Walk

She goes out on the widow walk
To search the sea for him
She stares across the sea
And pray for safe return
Twenty years of sorrowful chaste
What price hear love was lost
She'd wait till time had claimed
all she was

Truth was he was not lost at all
He lived across the sea
New wife and new little child
He lived in luxury
I grew and watched my mother die
I wept for my mother's tears
And pain, yes I will know his pain
For lies and wasted years

[Solo: Whalen]

Now a man and I did not seek him out
I went across the sea
When he looked down into my eyes
He knew it was death he'd seen
And pain, yes I will know his pain
For lies and wasted years
And death, yes I did know his death
His last breath was screamed

She goes out on the widow walk
