As Cities Burn The Widow Lyrics

The Widow Lyrics

dead man were you ever alive or was I just a seed

buried deep inside some woman you wed?

right before you crawled out of her bed

and crept down the hall.

did you think of me?

Did you even for a second hesitate in the doorway?

Its just something that I’d like to know

Though I’d still love you if you told me, that you just walked away



My God, what a world you love.

Men burry their sons

And without thought

Just walk away



And my mother’s heart breaks like the water inside of her



Dead man is it being high that makes you alive,

It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife in ‘89

And as the track marks inched their way up your arms

My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you daddy,

But to call you father.



And I believe there is something here to be learned of grace?

'cause i can't help but love you

No I can't help but love you even with a heart that breaks like

The promises that you made, like the promises that you made.



‘cause I can't help but love you



My God, what a world you love.
