lyrics

The Widow Of The Fallen Soldier

I tracked the path of an atom, I heard the whisper of the stars
I felt my heart grow bolder and bolder
I had a strange conversation in an airport bar
With the widow of a fallen soldier

“I waited for him until the swallows returned
I waited for him by the water
There’s a fire in my heart where my love for him burns”
Said the widow of the fallen soldier

I sat there so quietly, so undisturbed
As the night grew colder and colder
“Have you looked, have you listened, have you seen, have you heard?”
Said the widow of the fallen soldier

“I waited for him ‘till his wounds were all healed
I waited for him by the water
Everyone is beautiful on the battlefield”
Said the widow of the fallen soldier

It was then that I finally broke down and cried
I buried my face in her shoulder
“Every dead bird leaves a hole in the sky”
Said the widow of the fallen soldier

“I waited for him since the world was new
I waited for him by the water
It’s sure been a pleasure talking to you”
Said the widow of the fallen soldier
