Widow In The Window

Waiting for the nightingale to sing

Waiting for the harbour lights to dim

I've been on the outside lookin' in

While the widow in the window waits for him.

R1: But he won't be back

Can't you realize that?

And 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 knockin', but she will not let me in.

R2: And he won't be back

Can't you realize that?

And 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.

How can I replace the smile upon a face

Of a lover that I can never be

Am Ab7

How can I begin to make you love again

And try to make you see

And he won't be back

Can't you realize that?

And he's laughing at

Your sorrow

R1: But he won't be back...

R2: And he won't be back...
