Lonely she sat looking out her front window In rocking chair she stared into the night When darkness would fall she’d light a small candle Pray to the sky that he’d be all right
Lonely she sat and the seasons transfixed her Summer to autumn and winter to spring She’d sing out a song that she knew he’d remember Hoping the tune would back to her him bring
Lonely she sat as the world moved around her Children now women, young boys now grown men She sat by her window hair tied in the ribbon That once long ago to her he did give Lonely she sat, alone as the wrinkles Of age distorted her once flawless skin If you look in the window from the street while your passing You’ll se here there rocking just waiting for him
Lonely she died, not a bride, not a widow Betrothed his beloved for all time and then more She sat there in wait, for the love of her lifetime Lonely her heart, as lonely is war.
