The Window |
All that I’ve known’s within the walls of this room |
Where there’s a window, roughly boarded up |
It’s true the gaps are patched, but even through the tiny cracks |
I feel a wind blow, I see a light of strangest hue |
And there’s nothing I can say — there’s no way I can prove |
That there’s a place beyond this room |
But still, there’s something in the way the light comes shining through |
And in the way the curtains move |
Late in the night I lay awake, my eyes fixed |
On the window, I strained my ears until |
I thought that I might have heard a song, somehow hiding |
In the soft glow, old as time and ever new |
There’s nothing I can say — there’s no way I can prove |
That there’s a place beyond this room |
But still, there’s something in the way the light comes shining through |
And in the way the curtains move |
I found a note scratched in the wall |
In a pained and earnest scrawl |
The hand, I recognized, was somehow mine … |
I read each line with dread: |
«There's no wind and there’s no light |
There’s no song you hear at night |
There’s nowhere to hide, be terrified |
It’s all inside your head» |
But still there’s something in the way |
The light comes shining through |
And in the way — in the way the curtains move |
