Widower's Heart

[Verse 1]

I can't help it if I have a widower's heart

I tried to get out of bed but I can't seem to start

When I hit the road it was freezing and dark

And I hope that it's warmer wherever you are

[Verse 2]

I turned to say I was sorry and tried to explain

But the room, it was empty and bitter and drained

No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins

Could ever replace you, and here I remain

[Chorus]

Oh, rain

Come wash me and keep me

And take me away

[Verse 3]

New York was a rough place that suited me well

You bragged of religion and put me through hell

Maybe I'm better off, maybe it's hard to tell

When I left you were sleeping through trumpets and bells

[Chorus]

Oh, rain

Come wash me and keep me

And take me away

[Verse 4]

One moment of peace that would suit me so fine

There's echoes and glimpses of beautiful times

I'm sure it's much harder on your end than mine

If you ever pass through here I'm not hard to find

[Chorus]

Oh, rain

Come wash me and keep me

And take me away

Oh, rain

Come wash me and keep me

And take me away
