Sea Widow

From the blue of the sea to the blue of her eye She scrutinises the horizon Every time he's at sea, the fear in her heart Awakens until he is back He should be home by now . She knows the moment she's been dreading all these Years has come, come, come. He is gone. He is . gone Sail over the sea Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake Fall into the depths of the infinite Blue that had fed them all this time The payback was his life The boiler on the stove is calling with a whistle And interrupts her rêverie She pours water in a cup and prepares tea Holds in a sob with dignity She won't beak down now The phone is ringing, a voice confirms what she's known Known, known. He is gone. He is. gone Sail over the sea Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake Fall into the depths of the infinite Blue that had fed them all this time The payback was his life
