Lyrics

Consider me a widow boys, and I will tell you why
It's not the man, but it's the marriage that was drowned
So I walk the walk, and wait with watchful eye out to the sky
Looking for a kind of vessel I have never found

Though I saw it splinter, I keep looking out to sea
Like a dog with little sense, I keep returning
To the very area where I did see the thing go down
As if there's something at the site I should be learning

That line is the horizon
We watch the wind and set the sail
But save ourselves when all omens
Point to fail

If I tell the truth then I would have to tell you this;
Though I grieve (and I believe I feel it truly)
I knew that ship was empty by the time it hit the rocks
Cause we could not hold on when fate became unruly

So consider me a widow, boys, and I have told you why
Does the weather say a better day is nearing?
I'll set my house in order now and wait upon the will
Cause it's clear that I need better skill in steering

That line is the horizon
We watch the wind and set the sail
But save ourselves when omens
All point to fail
