lyrics

She stands in the window
Curtain drawn across her face
As she stares across the river
Never moving in her place
There's a legend, there's a story
Of a broken, shattered heart
Two young happy star crossed lovers
Put together; torn apart

Chorus
See her standing see her whisper
See her silhouette alone
See her waiting see her watching
For the man she calls her own.

Some say she had history
Maybe she was damaged goods
Came a timber man to love her
Died so sudden in the wood
Tired with grief she could not bear it
Good love found and sudden lost
Took her last breath in the river
Lost love has the highest cost

Chorus
See her standing see her whisper
See her silhouette alone
See her waiting see her watching
For the man she calls her own.

Now she lives in the attic
In the old Dominion Hotel
And she shows herself to strangers
So that we her story tell
Now she stands there in the window
And she doesn't like locked doors
So her love will find her waiting
Love will be just as before
