The Widows Peak Songtext / Lyric

You will wait in the widows peak

And while you watch the ships come in

I will take the early train



And I will take the back streets

Down to New Orleans

Before the avenues are swallowed

By the morning heat



And you will watch the ships come in

And I will take the early train

And I will make it home



We're stronger where

The strain had broken us

And there is fight in us

I know



And it will take more than

A heavy rain

To silence us

When there's so much for us

I know






And you will wait

At your post until

You've been relieved

And warn us all

If seas are dangerous



But you should rest

For a little while

And I will watch the ships come in

I'll alert the citizens

I'll sound the alarm



We're stronger where

The strain had broken us

And there is fight in us

I know



That it will take more than

A heavy rain

To silence us

When there's so much for us

I know



They've tethered the ships

In the harbor

They've anchored the rest

At sea



We're stronger than

Before the strain had broken us

And there is fight in us

I know



We're stronger than

Before the strain had broken us

And there is fight in us

I know



That it will take more than

A heavy rain

To silence us

When there's so much for us

I know
