Luyện nghe bài hát Widow Weeds

She draped herself in weeds
Veil of black and buttoned
Hid her face the world
A shadow where had been a girl

Her husband of twenty years
Had passed leaving her in tears
Heart full of the future's
She beside his grave

Where be colour every day
widow weeds, her friends all say
"please stop your tears and away
widow weeds of black and grey"

Then she did wail a sound
Beat her and hit the ground
She his name, she pulled her hair
She chanted and muttered prayer
How a man so just, so good
Leave her a widow he could

Where should be colour day
Just weeds, her friends all say
"please stop your tears and away
widow weeds of black and grey"

And deep within chador of
The deep etched sorrow on her
madonna in her cowl of grief
Subservient in her

came the reading of the will
Grief had hold within her
But unable to her ears
She stopped her sobbing, halted

Not a penny, not a
No provision to be
Not a of recognition
The will was with cold precision

jumped up in her breast
Well maybe was for the best
as the will was blessed
She tore away her

of rage to tears of joy
No more grief death's envoy
No weeping, gnashing teeth
No more with grief

She thought he her
So sure he her
She he loved her
So sure he her

But all his all his wealth
Just signify love for
Just signify love for

The chador unto the earth
Witness a rebirth
Witness a woman's

She exorcised grief's ugly
a new found sense of freedom

Where be colour every day
widow weeds, now she can say
She stopped her and threw away
Those weeds of black and grey
