Widow's Song




Widow's Song

 

You see disaster

I see a man
You see disaster
I'll not see him again

I always knew it
Risks that he took
I always knew it
Depended on his luck

But he still rescued
Men from the sea
But he still rescued
He couldn't let them be

Don't shout disaster
He tried to save
Don't shout disaster
To save them from the wave

Determined crewmen
Trusting - each one

Determined crewmen

See all the things they've done

A lifetime's service
Rescue at sea
A lifetime's service
Saving and setting free

I always knew it
He might be lost
I always knew it
I'd grieve to count the cost

His life was rescue
I knew at first
His life was rescue
And I know it at last
