Widows Watch Songtext
von Elaina Kay

Where my family lived for years
There′s a place they call the widow's watch
It′s collected many tears
Wait a little too long past the battle watch

See a light coming round the hill
But it was only the postman
Getting up my hopes, man
I'm still waiting at widow's watch

Well, I′m getting good at waiting
Waiting on what may never come
Only way we′re gonna make it through the winter
Father, come home to your wife and son

Well, the leaves, they have been changing
Your son is older now
I've been doing all the raising
Wish you could see him pull your plow


See a light coming round the hill
But it was only the postman
Getting up my hopes, man
I′m still waiting at widow's watch

Well, I′m getting good at waiting
Waiting on what may never come
Only way we're gonna make it through the winter
Father, come home to your wife and son

And they all may call me crazy
′Cause I'm still sitting here waiting
Waiting on my husband
I'm still waiting at widow′s watch

Well, I′m getting good at waiting
Waiting on what may never come
Only way we're gonna make it through the winter
Father, come home to your wife and son

Where my family lived for years
There′s a place they call the widow's watch
