She sits alone
She stares out
Upon the golden scene of boats
She wishes she could swim away
From the world and all that it holds
She's had it tough
She's had it hard
But that is no excuse
So I've been told
She's grown up
She's grown old
She's fallen in and out of love
I've been told
But she will wish her life away
Through the good and through the bad
And she will wish her life away
Through the joy
And through the pain
Her husband's gone
She sits alone
Oh by the glow of that small fire
She's wasting time, she's wasting wine
She's doing all the things I know
And she finds it hard to speak her mind
She's always just one step behind us all
She's grown up
She's grown old
She's fallen in and out of love
I've been told
But she will wish her life away
Through the good and through the bad
And she will wish her life away
Through the joy, and through the pain
