about

“A Widow” is about a woman (the grandmother) gripped by intense grief in the wake of her husband’s passing. She is haunted by her memories and seeking relief (“A night that never ends / Will the light be mine again?”). The latter part of the song depicts a journey that, while ending on a hopeful-sounding note, is more metaphorical and ambiguous than literal.

lyrics

Picked up and thrown, I’m nobody’s catch anymore
Won’t dare to wear that velvet dress I adore
Love don’t leave me, please retrieve me, I’m on the floor
I can hear your shadow pacing by the door

These old memories are coming back again
They linger in my depressed mind
These old memories, a night that never ends
Will the light be mine again?

Woke up and drove, like midnight roads I’m alone
Warmed up, the engine hums, the headlights they know
That I’m leaving, will they lead me away from home
Or deceive me—please believe me, I mean to go

These old memories are coming back again
They flicker in my rear-view mind
These old memories, this night will surely end
There’s a sun around the bend
