Widow's Walk |
| Six in the morning she’s up there |
| Up on the Widow’s Walk |
| Pacing the deck, eyes seaward |
| Up on the Widow’s Walk |
| Maybe it’s today, she says |
| I’ll let the fancy tempt me |
| She searches for a sign of a ship |
| But the sea is cold and empty |
| Lost at sea, they said he was |
| Never found a trace |
| Still she scans the horizon |
| Still her footsteps pace |
| She fell for his puppy eyes |
| His face chapped and battered |
| Most days he was rude or drunk |
| But charming when it mattered |
| But he’s never coming back to her |
| He’s never coming back |
| Always a thimble of hope, she says |
| But he’s never coming back |
| A short fuse and a hammer fist |
| He could reduce a bar to rubble |
| The sea was the best place for him |
| Kept him out of trouble |
| In the back of her mind she wonders |
| Does he have another life? |
| Shanghai, a new passport |
| Three kids and a wife? |
| Six in the morning she’s up there |
| Up on the Widow’s Walk |
| Pacing the deck, eyes seaward |
| Up on the Widow’s Walk |
