Widow In The Window Lyrics - Sea Of No Cares - Great Big Sea

Waiting for the nightingale to sing 

Waiting for the harbour lights to dim 

I've been on the outside lookin' in 

While the widow in the window waits for him 

But he won't be back, can't you realize that? 

And 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 knockin', but she will not let me in 

And he won't be back, can't you realize that? 

And 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 

How can I replace the smile upon a face 

Of a lover that I can never be? 

How can I begin to make you love again 

And try to make you see? 

That he won't be back, can't you realize that? 

And he's laughing at your sorrow 

No, he won't be back, can't you realize that? 

And he's laughing at your sorrow 

How can I explain, that your love is all in vain 

While you waste your precious hours 

I could fill your days with flowers, flowers 

Flowers, flowers, flowers 

Flowers, flowers, flowers 

Flowers, flowers, flowers
