about

For the unsung wife of the famed explorer.

lyrics

Staring out my window passed the waves
Haven’t seen a ship pass for days
Tears stain the wood on my veranda
Tracing time since Marco sailed for China

I’m alone in this tower
I call his desperate name on the hour
I sing Marco, Polo,
Your circumnavigation leaves me solo
I sing Marco, Polo,
You circumnavigation leaves me so low, leaves me solo

Staring out my window passed the waves
Haven’t seen a ship cross for days
Soothsayers and matrons at my door
My appetite for pretense no more

I’m alone in this tower
I call his desperate name on the hour
I sing Marco, Polo,
Your circumnavigation leaves me solo
I sing Marco, Polo,
You circumnavigation leaves me so low, leaves me solo
