"Widow's Window" lyrics

See the shoreline
At the end of the land
Holding the Ocean
Hostage again

Oh how much does she want this time?
Can we ever get her to change her mind?

Don't feign your affection
Don't hide your gloom
Be good to your sister
And your half brother too

One day they'll be gone with all your friends
They'll be no one left to hear you then

In the morning
With the sun and the dew
In the morning
Just like tears made of glue
Holding on
The world in place just for you

Just let it go
The sun shines in vain
Make believe for a little while
But don't get carried away

I never been much of a salesman
I don't know how to make you pay attention

Maybe one day
All alone in the yard
Maybe one day
Slip a note past the guard
He's a half wit
But he's trying so hard
To be all that you wanted
To have nothing but faith

But it's piled into something
That's impossible to face
But now you're trapped here forever more
He don't know what's behind the door

Break your back
Carry your love into town
Maybe that's what they meant when they said settle down
Making maps
All the cracks in the ground
