Cover art for The Widow of Magnolia lyrics by He Is Legend

well it seems pretty obvious to me. its about a sailor having to leave his wife while he goes on an exploration of the world with his crew.

he misses his wife and remembers telling he'll be home soon.

she misses him but one day the boat returns. somehow he isn't on it. the returned crew tell her how he fell over board and that unfortunately he's probably not coming back.

the husband is stranded on an island but builds a boat and makes his way home to keep his promise. she has died on by the time he returns and he cant believe he failed her.

he promises her spirit he'll be coming to find her soon and commits suicide to be reunited with his love.

not exactly happy but...

:)
