I was following orders. The widow (the widow) She understood that an instrument is a verb The widow And she gave it away instead of keeping him I found her name in a records office in 2021 She died in ninety-nine. Nobody told my teacher. Nobody tells anybody anything in this country, that's the wound (that's the wound) Whole lives ending unannounced in adjacent postcodes (solo sax, 8 bars) This is for her. Not for him. For her. She's the one who made the decision. (band returns, gently) The widow (the widow) She understood that an instrument is a verb The widow And she gave it away instead of keeping him (the widow...)
