[00:19.93]Consider me a widow, boys
[00:22.43]and I will tell you why.
[00:28.02]It's not the man, but it's the marriage
[00:30.43]that was drowned.
[00:32.07]
[00:33.05]So I walk the walk
[00:34.39]and wait with watchful eye out to the sky,
[00:41.47]Looking for a kind of vessel
[00:43.75]I have never found.
[00:46.70]
[00:56.61]Though I saw it splinter
[00:58.58]I keep looking out to sea,
[01:04.51]Like a dog with little sense,
[01:06.63]I keep returning,
[01:08.66]
[01:09.33]To the very area where
[01:11.62]I did see the thing go down
[01:17.98]as if there's something at the site
[01:20.07]I should be learning.
[01:22.26]
[01:23.33]That line is the horizon.
[01:27.90]We watch the wind and set the sail,
[01:33.01]but save ourselves when all omens
[01:37.26]point to fail.
[01:40.30]
[01:47.72]If I tell the truth
[01:49.28]then I will have to tell you this
[01:55.94]Though I grieve and I believe
[01:57.82]I feel it truly
[02:00.34]
[02:00.90]But I knew that ship was empty
[02:02.91]by the time it hit the rocks,
[02:08.90]We could not hold on
[02:11.08]when fate became unruly.
[02:13.81]
[02:14.33]So consider me a widow, boys,
[02:16.69]and I have told you why.
[02:19.14]Does the weather say
[02:20.35]a better day is nearing?
[02:22.77]
[02:24.09]I'll set my house in order now
[02:26.45]and wait upon the Will
[02:28.78]It's clear that I need
[02:30.32]better skill in steering...
[02:32.73]
[02:53.25][02:33.84]That line is the horizon.
[02:57.98][02:38.57]We watch the wind and set the sail,
[03:03.15][02:43.65]But save ourselves when all omens
[03:12.61][03:07.50][02:47.92]point to fail
[03:15.70][03:11.14][02:51.46]
