Windows hold the passing light And every face I've been They show me what is waiting there And what I've left within Double-glazed between the years Two panes and space between Meshed against the things that hurt Tinted against the scene Windows Tell me what I cannot see They keep the world outside of me And sometimes keep me in Windows Reflecting more than what's outside A lifetime moving with the light And everything I've been Some are cracked and some are clear Some carry fingerprints Some let the whole world flood inside Some only let a little in And time keeps changing what they show As daylight turns to grey The view I thought would always stay Has quietly moved away Windows Tell me what I cannot see They keep the world outside of me And sometimes keep me in Windows Two sides looking through the glass One holds the future, one the past And both are looking back
