You choose your words before you let them fall
You don’t rush past the truth at all
You slow it down, let the moment stay
So I can see what you’re trying to say
You don’t claim it’s written in stone
You let me find it on my own

Chorus
You say it like a window, not a wall
Like a light that doesn’t blind at all
You’re not pulling me into your view
You’re showing me the world as you do
You say it like we’re side by side
Looking at the same sky

You don’t dress shadows up as sure
Or make a promise you can’t secure
You point it out, then let it be
Trust I’ll feel it when it’s me
No smoke, no clever turn of phrase
Just honest words that gently stay

Chorus
You say it like a window, not a wall
Like a light that doesn’t blind at all
You’re not pulling me into your view
You’re showing me the world as you do
You say it like we’re side by side
Looking at the same sky

Between your heart and what I know
There’s room to breathe, room to grow
You don’t disappear, you don’t confine
You leave a little space for mine
And in that quiet, clear and true
I fall a little more for you

Chorus
You say it like a window, not a wall
Like a light that doesn’t blind at all
You’re not pulling me into your view
You’re showing me the world as you do
You say it like we’re side by side
Looking at the same sky

A Window, Not a Wall

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
