Man in the Window, Man on the Street.

[Verse 1] There’s a shadow on Elm Street, frozen in the frame A slow black Cadillac, and a rifle with no name The crowd was holdin’ roses, the sky was holdin’ still Then thunder cracked the motorcade and time forgot to heal [Blues sax solo] [Verse 2] Some say it was a drifter, with a bird’s-eye view But I swear I saw him smilin’ on the sidewalk too One man in the window, one just passin’ by Two faces in the mirror, one never said goodbye [Chorus] There’s blood on the boulevard, ghosts in the grain Truth packed a suitcase, boarded the train They gave us one story, trimmed it down neat But I saw two shadows — one in boots, one in bare feet [Verse 3] They dragged a man from Texas, called him by three names But the eyes that pled “I’m innocent” were wearin’ someone else’s shame You can switch a coat or haircut, you can forge a little past But you can’t unring a rifle, once it sings out fast [Bridge] There’s a whisper in the records, a stamp that don’t align A boy who spoke no English, and a man ahead of time One joined the Marines, one stayed overseas But they met in Dealey Plaza, like a glitch in destiny [Chorus] Now there’s blood on the boulevard, wind in the trees And the book depository don’t answer inquiries They wrote it in the paper, said the case was complete But there’s two sets of footprints — one steady, one discreet [Blues electric guitar solo] [Outro] So light me a candle in that Dallas rain For the man in the silence who never gave a name And if truth ever shows up with a face we can greet Maybe we’ll find who was walkin’ — And who took the seat.
