Widow in the Window Lyrics

The song Widow in the Window is performed by Great Big Sea in the album named Sea of No Cares in the year 2002 .



Waiting for the nightingale to sing
Waiting for the harbour lights to dim
I've been on the outside looking in
While the widow in the window waits for him

[Chorus 1]
But he won't be back
Won't you realize that
He's laughing at your sorrow

Waiting for a ship that won't come in
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
I'm knocking, but she will not let me in

[Chorus 2]
And he won't be back
Can't you realize that
He's laughing at your sorrow
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
While he wastes your precious hours
I could fill your days with flowers

Bridge Of a lover that I can never be
How can I begin, to make you love again
And try to make you see

[Chorus 1 + 2]
