Foreign Window |
I saw you from a foreign window |
Bearing down the sufferin' road |
You were carryin' your burden |
To the palace of the Lord |
To the palace of the Lord |
I spied you from a foreign window |
When the lilacs were in bloom |
And the sun shone through your window pane |
To the place you kept your books |
You were reading on your sofa |
You were singin' every prayer |
That the masters had instilled in you |
Since Lord Byron loved despair |
In the palace of the Lord |
In the palace of the Lord |
And if you get it right this time |
You don’t have to come back again |
And if you get it right this time |
There’s no need to explain |
I saw you from a foreign |
Bearing down the sufferin' road |
You were carryin' your burden |
You were singing about Rimbaud |
I was going down to Geneva |
When the kingdom had been found |
I was giving you protection |
From the loneliness of the crowd |
In the palace of the Lord |
In the palace of the Lord |
They were giving you religion |
Breaking bread and drinking wine |
And you laid out on the green hills |
Just like when you were a child |
I saw you from a foreign window |
You were trying to find your way back home |
You were carrying your defects |
Sleeping on a pallet on the floor |
In the palace of the Lord |
In the palace of the Lord |
In the palace of the Lord |
