Widow's Walk

Well, she goes walking at night
Up the stairs with her prayers into the moonlight
She's floating like a fizzled out satellite
With no aim to her feet

And she gets lost in a fog
Pacing like a zombie on the widow's walk
The wind, it screams, but the ghosts don't talk
Her eyes glassed on the sea, singing

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Well, he goes walking at night
On the bow in the calm of the haunting light
Looks like the black of the water's got an appetite
Calling him to the deep

And he's been talking in his sleep
Saying things in the morning that he can't repeat
Dreams of death in a drowning epiphany
And he starts to weep, singing

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

The sky explodes, the sea it roars
The crashing of the waves

The howling wind, it stings his skin
The blinding of the rain

Oh, he goes overboard
Towed into the grey
Face down, he floats away

She goes walking at night
Up the stairs with her prayers into the moonlight
She's floating like a fizzled out satellite
With no aim to her feet, singing

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
