The widow says It's hard to live With a man A man like me The widow says It's hard to live On the lonely version of love I give
And I've seen the way her eyes light up When she looks at the man in 'A Family Way', He's made of iron and he knows the way
And when I think about my brother dying And my parents trying To slowly do themselves in Inch by inch, day by day And the telephone's ring Is like a banshee wail
The widow says I broke her first Of course I say just the reverse And we can't get past this No, we can't get past this
Something she did On the 14th of June Because of something i said On the 13th of June And we can't get past this No, we can't get past this
And if we could lock our lips And block our noses And swim beneath the barriers And come up clean On the other side But we can't get past this No, we can't get past this
