lyrics

In the sleepy hours of dawn they come callin’
In the wilds of the wood they come crawlin’
Every tree a road, every flower a star
Into the Widow’s garden, they roam

Twas a time they played with little children’s toys
Beneath a weepin’ willow, with a lovely little boy
But now the tree is silent save just for the wind
But into the widow’s garden still they roam

For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see

One day when the boy was young there came a summer squall
And a single fisherman that night never did make it home
His picture fell down from the wall in a pile of shattered glass
And in that moment she knew he was gone

The little boy he ran away not believing a single word
He fell into the darkened wood, where his tiny cry was heard
Next mornin’ he awoke among the petals soft and blue
Into the widow’s garden, he was home

For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see

Though the sea had took her bonnie beau and her son had up and grown
Still the Widow keeps her garden, where little blue flowers grow
And every morn ‘tween dusk and dawn, upon the creepin’ dew
Into the widow’s garden they roam

For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see

Into the widow’s garden, they roam….
