Sixpence None The Richer
"The Fatherless And The Widow"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

fatherless and the widow 
stricken down by the hand of death 
grasping for security 
anticipation of the imminent next 
of the imminent next 

the fatherless and the widow
find their souls filled with fear
her lover gone forever
his hand to hold is never coming back
never coming back

behind closed doors they cry their tears
behind closed doors they reveal their fears
to the God in heaven above
