lyrics

WINDOWS

There's an old weary window where I sit and watch the world go drifting by.
Folks like me been sitting here waiting since 1925.
It's a great big ol' world and we all saw it from that window.

It ain't so much to look at, just some worn out wood and dirty, faded glass.
It's got a torn and tattered screen that catches dreams and leaves as they go drifting past.
And now it's caught me drifting too - and we're all gathered by my window.

CHORUS
That's what windows do.
I'm siting here looking outside while I'm looking on the inside too.
I'll let you look at me, but I'll be looking right back at you.
'Cuz that's what windows do.

Sometimes I sit here thinking 'bout the ghosts of all the folks who sat here through the years.
Just like me, no doubt, they had their pains and gains and shames...bet they had some fears.
I've had my fill of fearing, but I ain't afraid beside my window.


REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
So open up your windows, baby. I'll open up mine too.

All a-sudden there's a horn blowing, friends waving:
“Come on down we're gonna make some music play.
You gotta stop your silly dreaming now, step away from your window for today.”
Well, I've done entirely too much leaving, so I'll be back beside my window.

REPEAT CHORUS
