Lyrics
FROM MY WINDOW
(Rory Lee Feek / Rob Meurer)
YOUR PORCH LIGHT IS ON, YOU SIT IN THE DEN
HE DIDN'T COME HOME FROM WORKIN' AGAIN
EACH TIME HEADLIGHTS TURN DOWN OUR STREET
I SEE YOU LOOK UP AND JUMP TO YOUR FEET
THEN YOU RUN TO THE DOOR AS THE CAR DRIVES BY
AND THEN I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK THAT YOU CRY
FROM MY WINDOW I'VE SEEN YOU FOR YEARS
I CAN'T MAKE OUT YOUR FACE, I CAN'T SEE YOUR TEARS
BUT I KNOW YOU'RE HURTIN' JUST THE SAME
'CAUSE FROM MY WINDOW I SEE YOUR PAIN
IT'S THREE AM ON MONDAY NIGHT
I STUMBLE DOWNSTAIRS TO GET A BITE
I HEAR A DOOR SLAM AND I KNOW IT'S HIS CAR
I LOOK OUT AND SEE HIM FALL DOWN IN THE YARD
I CAN HEAR HIM SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
BUT INSIDE I'M PRAYIN' YOU WON'T LET HIM IN
FROM MY WINDOW I'VE SEEN YOU FOR YEARS
I CAN'T MAKE OUT YOUR FACE, I CAN'T SEE YOUR TEARS
BUT I KNOW YOU'RE HURTIN' JUST THE SAME
'CAUSE FROM MY WINDOW I SEE YOUR PAIN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S QUIET, I HEAD BACK TO BED
BUT I TAKE ONE MORE LOOK OUTSIDE INSTEAD
I SEE YOU STARIN' ACROSS THE STREET
AND FOR A SECOND OR TWO OUR EYES MEET
FROM MY WINDOW I'VE SEEN YOU FOR YEARS
I CAN'T MAKE OUT YOUR FACE, I CAN'T SEE YOUR TEARS
BUT I HOPE YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ALL IN VAIN *
'CAUSE FROM MY WINDOW I SEE YOUR PAIN
