Great Big Sea - Widow In The Window lyrics

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

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

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
