Kevin Welch - New Widow's Dream текст песни

Moonlight scatters cross her sheets

Soft eyelashes on her cheeks

A dream is stirring in her sleep

Her breath is shallow soft and warm

Like lace it's caught upon a thorn

Now the dream is finally born



Now her man is by her bed

A light is shining 'round his head

Across his chest the deepest red

His lips they move but do not speak

His eyes are sad but do not weep

His heart is full but does not beat




A gypsy wagon slowly comes

The driver with his guitar strums

The saddest song was ever sung

When she wakes it's nearly dawn

She still hears the gypsy's song

But now it's fading, now it's gone



Her salty tears her bloodshot eyes

Are raised upon the winter skies

Where high above her angel flies

Who's to say what these things mean

Or how many other young wives have seen

That same old new widow's dream
