Sailor's Wife's Lament 가사

Married a sailor today Soon he is going away An albino blackbird Nests by her bedside in sympathy Waits at the window at night The light from the lighthouse is bright It fills her with warm nostalgia It's all that she has of him All the girls who knocked say, "Come out to play" All of the boys in the town woo her with wildberry flowers Her lily-white charm Just like the bird who's keeping her calm Will soon fly away Letters so seldom appear Her hair's turning grey with the fear Some say she's insane, they say he's to blame Still she waits for him All the girls who knocked say, "Come out to play" All of the boys in the town woo her with wildberry flowers Her lily-white charm Just like the bird who's keeping her calm Will soon fly away
