Her Loss
She watched at the window
Straining to see the masts fade away
And the HMS Victoria left New York for Liverpool
Her third trip ended when the rumour came
The Victoria had sunk just off of Harrington Bay
It said a wave had taken the ship
And killed all of her able-bodied seamen
Still she waited for the sails to rise above the horizon
She waited for the love of her life to step on the dock
And take her in his arms
But years later she still waits
She still sits at that window and she cries
But she will never give up hope
She will never let her love for a long-lost sailor die
As long as she has the smallest shred of hope
She will wait at that window
