Widow's Walk
Suzanne Vega
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Consider me a widow, boys And I will tell you why. It's not the man, but it's 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 there's 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 will have to tell you this Though I grieve (and I believe I feel it truly) But I knew that ship was empty By the time it hit the rocks, 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? I'll set my house in order now And wait upon the Will It's 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 all omens Point to fail.
