THE WINDOW 

So, I like to check the window 
To be sure I am alone 
I think everybody wants to be heard 
One and all, got a ritual of our own 

A wish, it’s ungrateful for the present that’s been given 
And I’m like the branch that caught the red ribbon 

Did I do good by you 
All that time you’ve been thinking about me
I couldn’t see a future where we 
Were happy in our own company 

Each hour passed by so slowly 
It tore me up like that twister did to Dorothy 
Each hour passed by so slowly here

I’ve been walking alone now 
for so long the wood grain is gone now 
So, I like to check the window to be sure I am alone 

Did I do good by you
Did I do good by you

All that time you’ve been thinking about me 
I couldn’t see a future where we 
were happy in our own company

The Window

Remember? Shot a hole through the sky
Gilded clouds, a bucket above
Triggered the bass below
Hooded faces, the moon and the hair pull apart 
Above, reverse 
Like a jacketed dirty bubble 
Apart, below 
Further and further
