Lyrics "The Widow's Song" by Stone & Shamrock
Her lantern still burns by the crashing of gray
She watches the dawn wash the starlight away
The villagers say that he's gone with the deep
But he's there in the quiet when she goes to sleep
Oh the sea keeps its secrets beneath the foam
Takes what it loves and won't send 'em home
Her heart is an anchor, her soul evermore
The fisherman's widow still waits by the shore
His final prayer: "Lord, keep her warm,
When the nights grow long, for sorrow will darken her dawn."
So I sing to the wind, to the hills, to the rain,
To the ghost of the love I can't hold again
If grief has a name, then it's carved in this stone,
For I am the widow who walks on alone
Oh love can you hear my song?
Oh love I am trying to be strong...
Yet in her dreams, he's there warm and near
A shadow that whispers, "I'm always here."
Oh the sea keeps its secrets beneath the foam,
Takes what it loves, and won't send 'em home
Her heart is an anchor, her soul evermore
The fisherman's widow still waits by the shore
