Widows Walk Lyrics - Singles - Chris Foster

Widow's Walk 

Words and music Chris Foster 

The storm clouds draped on the horizon 

An his love climbed the stairs so she could see 

On the second story perch of her protection 

She blew him a kiss as he wandered off to sea. 

The captain told him be on board by morning 

The catch is running now, he knew he had to go 

In about a day she will see him coming home 

Through the inlet where the boats go to and fro 

I will wait for my love in the morning 

I will wait for my love in the day. 

From on top of the roof from my widow's walk 

I'll be wishing all your stormy clouds away 

Sailors dance on mother natures cool clear waters 

Spend the springtime of their lives in her fold 

Sailors songs have been sung for thousands of years 

But the widows story's rarely ever told 

On cold dark nights she'll linger up ---- to her rooftop 

Grasp the wooden rail with boney shaky hands 

The salty air caresses worried cheeks of sorrow 

As she ask her God to help understand 

I will wait for your love in the sunshine 

I will wait for your love in the rain 

From on top of the roof from my widow's walk 

I will wait for my love to come again 

Solo 

The time has come and gone for him to be home now 

Another sleepless night upon her breast 

Maybe it's the season or maybe some bad weather 

But either way I will not get my rest. 

I will wait for my love in the springtime 

I will wait for my love in the fall 

From on top of the roof from my widows walk 

I'll wait until I hear your angel call.
