The Widow Knows

There will be
Ifs, Buts, Maybes and Whys
Dark days and lonely nights
Your strength will come with the morning light
All you need is time
The bright stars in the sky
Light up the desolate corner
But they fell down when they heard her cry
With no drugs to cure her
No answer when she asks why
No signs to warn her
She struggled to say goodbye
To realise she’s a mourner
There will be
Ifs, Buts, Maybes and Whys
Dark days and lonely nights
Your strength will come with the morning light
All you need is time
She wallows in the crystal clear lake
Of staring eyes from guilty faces
As they bow their heads for gods sake
Thinking about their days thinking about other places
There will be
Ifs, Buts, Maybes and Whys
Dark days and lonely nights
Your strength will come with the morning light
All you need is time
Queuing up after the wake
The widow knows there’ll be changes
She finds comfort in their handshakes
But they’re moving on, and turning pages, turning pages
There will be
Ifs, Buts, Maybes and Whys
Dark days and lonely nights
Your strength will come with the morning light
All you need is time
All you need is
Ifs, Buts, Maybes and Whys
Dark days and lonely nights
Your strength will come with the morning light
All you need is time
All you need is time
