Inspired by the Ballad "Widow's Grove" by Tom Waits
in a tree by Widow's Grove
She had climbed into that tree
laughed at the sky high above
She was a lark, she was a flirt
She had been since her birth
And she was smiling down to me
where she sat in that apple-tree
"Who are you my lovely friend?"
she asked me and her lips
red as roses, lush as her hips
"I am just a wandering boy"
I said to the girl in the tree
"Out to sing you a song of joy"
And she laughed down to me
So I climbed up to her in that apple-tree
Found out that I loved her as much as could be
We made love high up there deep in the green
And I wondered wherever in my life she had been
I never saw her again after that day
Was called out to sea, was called away
My girl will be forever in my memory
a dream in my mind to the remains of my day

The Girl at Widow's Grove
I met her where she satin a tree by Widow's Grove
She had climbed into that tree
laughed at the sky high above
She was a lark, she was a flirt
She had been since her birth
And she was smiling down to me
where she sat in that apple-tree
"Who are you my lovely friend?"
she asked me and her lips
red as roses, lush as her hips
"I am just a wandering boy"
I said to the girl in the tree
"Out to sing you a song of joy"
And she laughed down to me
So I climbed up to her in that apple-tree
Found out that I loved her as much as could be
We made love high up there deep in the green
And I wondered wherever in my life she had been
I never saw her again after that day
Was called out to sea, was called away
My girl will be forever in my memory
a dream in my mind to the remains of my day
