Lyrics

The Window

Sitting in my castle window
Up the ladder, looking out
Gathering thoughts with pen and paper
Find something to write about

Days of memory, days of past
Looking through the looking glass
Messages written in the dust
Memories etched in the shimmering rust

Then came the days of darkest dreaming
I'd try to sleep but wake up screaming
Lost in the darkness of crippled emotion
Would the day ever come for my heart to be open

And it's lost before you know it
And before it's here it's gone
Only love can be so fleeting
Like the ever-setting sun

Looking out my bedroom window
Sky is crying so am I
Autumn rain so unforgiving
Putting out the fire inside

Days of memory, days of past
Looking through the looking glass
Messages written in the dust
Memories etched in the shimmering rust

Now come the days of darkest dreaming
I try to sleep but wake up screaming
Lost in the darkness of crippled emotion
Will the day ever come for my heart to re-open?

And it's lost before you know it
And before it's here it's gone
Only love can be so fleeting
Like the ever-setting sun
Like the ever-setting sun
