Widow Woman (Music from the Movie)

Why do you sit, Widow Woman?

Why do you stare out at me?

Is it a secret you keep in your heart, buried deep

Of a boy on the bed of the sea?

In Port Quin, there's a clouded glass window

Paint cracked and frame dusty dry

And behind the old lace is a sad, weathered face

Of a woman whose heart has long since died

In her eyes, she still sees the great tempest

Blow fast and furious through the bay

She sees the fleet sinkin' down to the deep

Made two dozen widows that day

Why do you sit, Widow Woman?

Why do you stare out at me?

It's the secret you keep in your heart, buried deep

Of a boy on the bed of the sea

How cruel the past to the present

Could God really mean it this way?

For if He were kind, sure He'd empty her mind

Of the sorrow she still feels today

She sees her love, deep underwater

Pale-faced, unchanged by the years

For the boy she loved drowned, lies in Marazion Sound

The last widow left drowning in tears

Why do you sit, Widow Woman?

Why do you stare out at me?

Is it a secret you keep in your heart, buried deep

Of a boy on the bed of the sea?

Of a boy on the bed of the sea

Of a boy on the bed of the sea
