[00:00:00] Widow Weeds - Marc Almond

[00:00:01] Written by：Bill McGee/Marc Almond

[00:00:09] She draped herself in widow weeds

[00:00:12] Veil of black and buttoned sleeves

[00:00:15] Hid her face from the world

[00:00:18] A shadow where once had been a girl

[00:00:30] Her husband of past twenty years

[00:00:34] Had passed away leaving her in tears

[00:00:37] Heart full of the futures fears

[00:00:40] She kneels beside his grave

[00:00:48] Where should be colour every day

[00:00:54] Just widow weeds her friends all say

[00:00:57] Please stop your tears and throw away

[00:01:00] Those widow weeds of black and grey

[00:01:12] Then she did wail a chilling sound

[00:01:16] Beat her fists and hit the ground

[00:01:23] She moaned his name she pulled her hair

[00:01:26] She chanted verse and muttered prayer

[00:01:30] How could a man so just so good

[00:01:33] Leave her a widow like he could

[00:01:41] Where should be colour every day

[00:01:46] Just widow weeds her friends all say

[00:01:50] Please stop your tears and throw away

[00:01:53] Those widow weeds of black and grey

[00:02:05] And deep within chador of lace

[00:02:08] The deep etched sorrow on her face

[00:02:12] This madonna in her cowl of grief

[00:02:15] Subservient in her belief

[00:02:23] Then came the reading of the will

[00:02:26] Grief had hold within her still

[00:02:29] But unable to believe her ears

[00:02:33] She stopped her sobbing halted tears

[00:02:40] Not a penny not a pound

[00:02:43] No provision to be found

[00:02:47] Not a thought of recognition

[00:02:50] The will was read with cold precision

[00:03:02] Anger jumped up in her breast

[00:03:05] Well maybe this was for the best

[00:03:09] Even as the will was blessed

[00:03:12] She tore away her veil

[00:03:19] Tears of rage to tears of joy

[00:03:22] No more grief from deaths envoy

[00:03:25] No more weeping gnashing teeth

[00:03:29] No more prostrate with grief

[00:03:48] She thought he loved her

[00:03:51] So

[00:03:52] Sure he loved her

[00:03:55] She thought he loved her

[00:03:58] So sure he loved her

[00:04:03] But all his treasure all his wealth

[00:04:10] Just signify love for himself

[00:04:16] Just signify love for himself

[00:04:24] The chador fell unto the earth

[00:04:31] Witness a womans rebirth

[00:04:38] Witness a womans rebirth

[00:04:44] She exorcised griefs ugly demon

[00:04:52] With a new found sense of freedom

[00:05:03] Where should be colour

[00:05:06] Every day

[00:05:09] Just widow weeds now

[00:05:11] She can say

[00:05:12] She stopped her tears

[00:05:16] And threw away

[00:05:19] Those widow weeds of black and grey

[00:05:22] Widow
