The Widows Peak

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 streetsDown to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning heatAnd you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it homeWe're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I knowThat it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I knowAnd you will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all
If seas are dangerousBut you should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarmWe're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I knowThat it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I knowThey've tethered the ships in the harbor
They've anchored the rest at seaWe're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I knowStronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I knowThat it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know
