Great Big Sea - Widow In The Window lyrics

Waiting for the nightingale to sing Waiting for the harbour lights to dim I've been on the outside looking in While the widow in the window waits for him [Chorus 1] But he won't be back Won't you realize that 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 knocking, but she will not let me in [Chorus 2] And he won't be back Can't you realize that 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 Bridge Of a lover that I can never be How can I begin, to make you love again And try to make you see [Chorus 1 + 2]
