Back

Widow In The Window Tab

by Great Big Sea


Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo) 

		   		  
Waiting for the nightingale to sing
				
Waiting for the harbor lights to dim
		   		  
I've been on the outside lookin' in
				
While the widow in the window waits for him. 

		    
But he won't be back
		    
Can't you realize that?
		    		
And he's laughing at your sorrow 

-
		   		  
Waiting for a ship that won't come in
				
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
				
I'm knockin', but she will not let me in. 

		    
But he won't be back
		    
Can't you realize that?
		    		
And he's laughing at your sorrow 
			
How can I explain, your love is all in vain

While he wastes your precious hours
			               
I could fill your days with flowers. 

			
How can I replace the smile upon a face
			       
Of a lover that I can never be
		         
How can I begin to make you love again
	    	    
And try to make you see 


		    
That he won't be back
		    
Can't you realize that?
		    		
And he's laughing at your sorrow 
			
How can I explain, your love is all in vain

While he wastes your precious hours
			         
I could fill your days with flowers. 
		
	Flowers........
		
	Flowers.....
