SPARKLEHORSE
"Most Beautiful Widow In Town"
(Mark Linkous)

We were both standing
In your mother's living room
Sweating up a storm
In that terrible month of June

And the sweat rolled down your cheek
And into your mouth
I knew this must've been a dream
'Cause your mother would never let me in her house

[Chorus:]
You are the most beautiful widow
You are the most beautiful widow
You are the most beautiful widow in town

Many years later
The glassy month of December
I stood with my hands in my pockets
Trying to avoid

A shiny wedding portrait
Hanging on that old woman's wall
'Cause I knew you'd be wearing a smile
That'd be too painful to look upon

[Chorus:]
You are the most beautiful widow
I bet you are the most beautiful widow
I bet you are the most beautiful widow in town
