Against Windows Songtext

The devil weds a widow Death another's leftovers Better to lie on a willows Rest on alder boughs Than upon a widow's bed On a used womans's pillow Sweeter the side of a fence Than a widow's flank Softer the side of a grove Than a widow's beside is The devil weds a widow The grave on twice wed A widow's hand is rougher Than a dry spruce bough With which she strikes the playful Grabs the one who laughs A widow has had her games And spent a merry evening
