Widow's Walk
Suzanne Vega
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.80s afternoon chillout divorce female vocal female vocalists folk grief heard it on the radio interesting list pop singer-songwriter suzanne vega Suzannu vega tracks
