The Widow’s 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 streets

Down to New Orleans

Before the avenues are swallowed

By the morning heat

And you will watch the ships come in

And I will take the early train

And I will make it home

We're stronger where

The strain had broken us

And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than

A heavy rain to silence us

When there's so much for us, I know

And you will wait at your post until

You've been relieved and warn us all

If seas are dangerous

But you should rest for a little while

And I will watch the ships come in

I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarm

We're stronger where

The strain had broken us

And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than

A heavy rain to silence us

When there's so much for us, I know

They've tethered the ships in the harbor

They've anchored the rest at sea

We're stronger than

Before the strain had broken us

And there is fight in us, I know

Stronger than

Before the strain had broken us

And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than

A heavy rain to silence us

When there's so much for us, I know
