Hours By The Window

Lyrics

Day and night By the window Of my mind There you are In the courtyard One last time The singing of a famous song I've never heard before A man without a shadow slowly walking past my door My mind projects a face soon to be free of misery The chiming of some distant bell that echoes in my heart A dance upon the flagstones to the music of the stars A mother's name that lingers on a soothing summer's breeze All alone I said no prayers today I couldn't kneel to please the god that failed you Now you're gone I'll sit and spend each day Hours by the window Morning comes To my rescue Once again Whispers in the corridor and footsteps in the hall My only point of reference now the sunlight on the wall It draws me to the window where my dreams are memories A step beyond the line where sunken eyes avert their gaze An endless tract of time reveals a thousand silent ways All searching for an answer to life's deepest mysteries On the ocean of pure time I sail away I go and these four walls will not contain me Maybe there I'll see your face again Hours by the window All alone I said no prayers today I couldn't kneel to please the god that failed you What I'd give to see your face again Hours by the window
