The Colored Window

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And the colored window keeps me in the room Some kind of half-wit I'm dropping to my knees beside the pew Run along now, son [Verse 2] And you could learn a thing or two About good habits And how to keep attention from a room It's a long two hours [Verse 3] And I keep thinking of my home Could reach and grab it If only my poor body wasn't small Now the song I hear [Verse 4] From on the balcony it rings Some kind of travesty Not to hear the beauty that it brings I was wrong, I know [Verse 5] And the colored window keeps me in the room It's not so bad It can take this crummy town and turn it blue Can make it golden [Verse 6] The color is completely up to you And where you're standing And you can stay and use the window too It's a long way home [Outro] It's a long way home It's a long way home
