Keren Ann lyrics : "Sailor & Widow"

He was a sailor
A sailor at sea and a sailor of love
And he thought he could save her

Save her from innocence up and above
'cause he never knew freedom and under the duvet
He stayed for a lifetime without any government

Help or $$#istance

She was a widow

She never left home before seven a.m.
And she looked by the window
She managed to cry but she never feel blame

For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
Although he remained
In a reasonable distance


All the children played around the neighborhood
All the children played around the neighborhood

The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
All they had was eachother


He brought her flowers
A flesh in the pan as she didn't reply
And he waited for hours

Until she accepted to offer a smile
And a terrible whiskey she had for a while
That she'd sip every morning for breakfast and sigh

Since the month of december

They used to tango

Jump and parade until midnight or more
She convinced him to fargo
Drink lemonade with some awkward liquor

The she kissed him goodbye and attended the shore
Where she lit a big fire like never before
By the house of the river


All the children played around the neighborhood
All the children played around the neighborhood

The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
All they had was eachother


She was a widow, again
She never left home before seven a.m.
And she looked by the window

She managed to cry but she never feel blame
For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
Although he remained

In a reasonable distance

All the children played around the neighborhood

All the children played around the neighborhood
The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
All she had was herself
