The Fisherman and his Wife
This is a story of very old
fisherman and his wife
it's not a story many told
about their tragic life
they married young ,no children had
to each they often clung
his daily job would make her sad
for lives the sea had sung
She'd waved him off each day at dawn
from window balcony
the stormy day, so some would say
would be the last he 'd see
She'd waited daily , for loves' return
but never did he come
they say she couldn't understand
her grief to much, said some
Daily from her window watch
the village saw her be
then one day she disappeared
for never did they see
The story is her grief to much
she walked down to the sea
last saw upon the beach that day
the sea together be.
