Consider me a widow boys, and i will tell you why,
It's not the man, but it's the marriage that was drowned
So i walk the walk, and wait with watchful eye out to the sky,
Looking for a kind of vessel i have never found.

Though i saw it splinter, i keep looking out to sea.
Like a dog with little sense, i keep returning,
To the very area where i did see the thing go down,
As if there's something at the site i should be learning.

That line is the horizon.
We watch the wind and set the sail,
But save ourselves when all omens
Point to fail.

If i tell the truth then i would have to tell you this;
Though i grieve (and i believe i feel it truly),
I knew that ship was empty by the time it hit the rocks,
Cause we could not hold on when fate became unruly.

So consider me a widow, boys, and i have told you why
Does the weather say a better day is nearing?
I'l put my house in order now and wait upon the will,
Cause it's clear that i need better skill in steering.

That line is the horizon.
We watch the wind and set the sail,
But save ourselves when omens
All point to fail.
