Widow with Shawl (A Portrait) Lyrics

[Intro]
*Surf*
(Widow with Shawl, a Portrait)

[Verse 1]
Dear wind that shakes the barley free
Blow home my true love's ship to me
Fill her sails
I aweary wait upon the shore

[Verse 2]
Forsake her not in times of storm
Protect her oaken beams from harm
Fill her sail
I aweary wait upon the shore

[Verse 3]
Whether he be in Africa
Or deep asleep in India
Fill his dream
I aweary wait upon the shore

[Verse 4]
Dear snow-white gulls upon the wing
I, like you, am lamenting
For my love
I aweary cry upon the shore

[Verse 5]
And in my chariot of sleep
I ride the vast and dream a deep
Deep sea
I awake aweary on the shore

[Verse 6]
Seven years and seven days
No man has seen my woman ways
Dear God
I aweary cry upon the shore

[Verse 7]
Along the shingle beach I go
The wind about me as I
Make my way
To my weary dream upon my bed

[Verse 1]
Dear wind that shakes the barley free
Blow home my true love's ship to me
Fill her sail
I aweary wait upon the shore
