Sailor & The Widow Lyrics - Singles - Keren Ann

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 assistance 

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 

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
