This is about the First World War
Widows weep
When the battle starts
and the music stops
the birds don't sing
and the widows weep
I try to keep my hope alive
and pray to god that he'll survive
But when the battle starts
and I know it's on
in my head
I think that somethings wrong
I'm a widow in waiting
for the telegram
for the news that I've lost
my new found man
When the battle starts
and the music stops
the birds don't sing
and the widows weep
I just wanna know
If he's been killed
same as my brother
good old Bill
When the battle starts
and the music stops
the birds don't sing
and the widows weep
When the battle starts
and the music stops
the birds don't sing
and the widows weep
He's dead
