Widows Walk — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

Consider me a widow boys, and I will tell you why,

Its not the man, but its 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 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 omens

Point 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 why

Does 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 omens

All point to fail.
