A Window Opens

The window opens I hear the toddling waves

I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates

I would like to leave it all just for a week or two

Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see

It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand

I could be anything but not yours on demand

I would like to leave it all if I only could

Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all

But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song

Oh mother oh brother

Take me home today

You may call me irresponsible or even carefree

It makes me feel like I'm part of the earth

I would like to stay here and just watch the sky

Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all

And the wolfs they are singing that sweet but haunted song

Oh father oh sister

Take me home today
