Suzanne Vega - Widow's Walk Lyrics
Consider me a widow boys, and I will tell you why,Its not the man, but its the marriage that was drownedSo 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 omensPoint 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 whyDoes 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 omensAll point to fail.Suzanne vega, c feb, 2000
