cd: Relic of a Bygone Day
track 5: Gonna Be a Widow
Some men die a slow death
Taking them all their lives
Others try to push the clock
A few of them still survive
And they wake to find
There’s others broken too
So they close their eyes
And pretend they can’t see through
But it isn’t true
Gonna be a widow
Gonna be a widow if he can’t change
Gonna be a widow
Gonna be a widow if he can’t change his ways
Over and over the same old road
Fighting the same old fight
Crawling inside the bottle buys him
One more wasted night
So you walk the streets
Trying to find him in the fray
You’re the only one
Who gives a half damn anyway
He pushes you away
Chorus
He asks you “What’s to live for?”
I guess you’re not enough
You don’t even recognize
The man that you once loved
He’s captive now
Rye whiskey you’re to blame
And his eyes betray
All the weakness and the pain
He’s drowning in the shame
Chorus
Everything’s predetermined
Everything’s set in stone
Everybody knows how this one ends
You’ll be left alone
But you fought for him
You gave the best years of your life
And you won’t give in
Even if you’ve lost the fight
He’s fading in the night
Chorus
Gonna be a widow
Gonna be a widow
Gonna be a widow
Gonna be a widow
