widows peak Lyrics & Video

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.
