Widows - Wakes

Take my hand and jump with me

And I’m waiting for the day I die

Won’t you put my shoes by the fire

As my body comes ashore

My toes are cold with my feelings of dread

As you try to lock the door

Oh it’s a full moon tonight

Watch the love turn into fright

Oh my, my darlin' dear

It’s not me you need to fear

You try to sing of our posterity

But I’m hollow my dear, can’t you see?

Leave me on my pedestal of trials

I’ll dream in the sky when I’m tired

The widow is loved by the ones up above

But no one to call her name

And I find you crying on the floor

I can’t help but feel we’ve done this before
