Catherine picks cattails on the walk From the water by the dock And tries to laugh it off Threw away her petals to the war On a dirty kitchen floor And never asked what for She can't stop thinking 'bout the things she's never had In the years before the shipyard she held fire in her hands You'll never see a stronger woman lying where she stands She always lets the wind push her around To pretend that her feet aren't on the ground The Widows walk the beach along the tide For the sailors that have died Praying that they'll arrive They keep a candle on the windowsill In the cold December chill Just whispering "until" They can't stop thinking 'bout the things they never had The mouths so full of water but still crying for the land The smiles shone so brightly, now ground down and full of sand And the wind still finds its way around the door In a voice you thought was gone forevermore The Fisherman runs fingers through his net He doesn't mind the wet He isn't old just yet He sings his song the boy at the bar Whose hair is black as tar He thinks he shimmers like a star He can't stop thinking 'bout the things he's never had His lamplight flickers heavy as he walks along the strand At night he beds with dogs and drunks and filth of fellow man And listens to the walls that creak and moan Until he falls asleep again alone The Sea just bends and breathes and breaks again Mistaken as a friend Making love to the wind It doesn't pay no mind unto the rocks Or people on the docks Or the ticking of their clocks But it can't stop thinking 'bout the things it's never had So many stones and bones that it could hold inside its hands So many wandering souls that it could get to join the band To scream and cry and steal the rocks from shore And rise until we're gone forevermore
