Spin Doctors - Sweet Widow Lyrics






Zephyr through the awning shadow
Star-like glimpse upon the weeping leaves
Rest yourself my weeping widow
With the your news of grave defeat
With the shafts of each fraction
Beneath your head in rays of hair
Fire hand the mango nectar
And the news is good

Sleep oh,
Sleep oh,
Lay down your head and sleep oh, sleep
Lay down your head and

Across these fields of amber grain
Never that we've reached the dawn
You whispered that your vows to him
Were crushed as the shafts we played upon
Then came the news, I knew it'd come
It was a cruel and clever thief
Devised this cunning tragedy
Stole you for me to love sweetpea

Sleep oh,
Sleep oh,
Lay down your head and sleep oh, sleep
Lay down your head and

[repeat above verse and chorus]

    This was always my song of this album

  2. g.... ....

    This isn't form "Pocket...", this is from the live album "Homebelly Groove"

    g.... ....

    Great to know. It's certainly on my copy of Pocketful of Kryptonite which I bought back in 1991 when it came out :-) - Perhaps it was special to Europe. Ill check out the Live album. I sort of lost touch with Spin Doctors back then.

    Checking out that live album on Tidal. Looks good. Some great long versions on there of classic tracks. Thanks for the heads up!

    g.... ....

    It's on both, because twice is not enough for this much magnificence.

    Bohemian Rhapsody in 10:43-10:58

  4. C.... H....

    That bass solo.... So good.

  5. P.... ....

    I adore Sweet Widow! The Spin Doctors are like some mash up of an all American band and, at 2:59 medieval lullaby players! Bluesy, funky, sensitive.

    Thank you thank you !!
