 The salty air does nothing to calm her darkest fears She waits upon the cliff-top, seems like it has been years Her home provides a widow's walk, but that would mean defeat And so she waits along the shore, the waves keeping the beat Straining her green eyes afar, to spot a distant sail Townsfolk think his ship went down, in a sudden gale She reaches for a locket that she keeps around her neck She fiddles with it all the time, cause she's a nervous wreck Inside two lovers face to face, in sepia and gray Painted rouge upon her cheeks feigns winters wrath away |
