Sailor's Wife's Lament |
Married a sailor today |
Soon he is going away |
An albino blackbird |
Nests by her bedside in sympathy |
Waits at the window at night |
The light from the lighthouse is bright |
It fills her with warm nostalgia |
It’s all that she has of him |
All the girls who knocked say «Come out to play» |
All of the boys in the town woo her with wildberry flowers |
Her lily-white charm |
Just like the bird who’s keeping her calm |
Will soon fly away |
Letters so seldom appear |
Her hair’s turning grey with the fear |
Some say she’s insane, they say he’s to blame |
Still she waits for him |
All the girls who knocked say «Rise from the bed» |
Now all the boys in the town mourn her with wildberry flowers |
Laid on her grave |
And the old bird has nothing to say |
He has flown away |
