The Widows Peak
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.
You will wait in the widow's peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the backstreets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning air
And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know.
You will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all if seas are dangerous
You should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
And I'll alert the citizens
I'll sound the alarm.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know.
They've tethered the ships in the harbor
It anchored the rest at sea.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know
