Widow In The Window

Great Big Sea

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. 

Of a lover that I can never be
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...
