Windows Peak

You will wait in the widows peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the back streets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning heat
And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home
We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know
And you will wait
At your post until
You've been relieved
And warn us all
If seas are dangerous
But you should rest
For a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
I'll alert the citizens
I'll sound the alarm
We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know
They've tethered the ships
In the harbor
They've anchored the rest
At sea
We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know
We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know
