Widow Of A Living Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mama why does he treat me so cold
why do I feel so old
how long has he treated me unkind
or have I always been so blind
I'm the widow of a living man
Why can't the times stay the same
now I am begging him to change
what about all the plans we made
now I am so afraid
I'm the widow of a living man
Why does he hurt me so
I'm gonna need someplace to go
he's no longer some kind woman's son
mama I think that I had better run
I'm the widow of a living man
