Window
In the still of the night
Long before the mornings dew
Long before the early dawns light
I look out my window
And am startled to see
This figure, a woman starring at me
She has such a sad look upon her face
Her smile is no more
A look of sorrow now takes its place
In her eyes you can clearly see the regrets
Of those special moments she can’t forget
Moments of which she could wishes she could change
But time only moves forward
And life can’t go back to rearrange
That’s the one thing you can count on to stay the same
She didn’t fight hard enough for him back then
She’s fighting too hard for him now
I wee her troubles in her eyes
She has looked to the skies
She needs to push through somehow
To find what she seeks
And seek what she finds
She’s screaming now
“Damn this life of mine”
Gone by are all the years
Here now are echoes of silence
And moments that are filled with tears
You see them running down her check
Leaves her always lonely and week
For it’s him she longs to hold
But all with him for now is cold
She has heard it been said
She has been told
Just to forget and try to control
The feelings, the love, the sadness, and all the laughter
The thoughts she once had of happy ever after
Let go of remembering how they lied
On the day they said goodbye
Or the songs they sang
The words were clear
But the meaning vague
She wishes that was the case today
The meaning of the songs
Are now to crystal clear
That part is what she don’t want to ever hear
During the shadows of the night
All she wants is him holding her tight
She wants to feel wanted, needed, and loved
She wants for this to so much
And longs to be able to one day thank
The good Lord above
You can tell she hopes soon this will be close in her sights
She prays her emotions of him are right
In the still of the night
Long before the mornings dew
Long before the mornings light
I look out my window
And I’m startled to see
That figure the woman still starring
And realize
It’s just the reflection of me
