Window

In the still of the night Long before the mornings dew Long before the early dawns light I look out my window And am startled to see This figure, a woman starring at me She has such a sad look upon her face Her smile is no more A look of sorrow now takes its place In her eyes you can clearly see the regrets Of those special moments she can’t forget Moments of which she could wishes she could change But time only moves forward And life can’t go back to rearrange That’s the one thing you can count on to stay the same She didn’t fight hard enough for him back then She’s fighting too hard for him now I wee her troubles in her eyes She has looked to the skies She needs to push through somehow To find what she seeks And seek what she finds She’s screaming now “Damn this life of mine” Gone by are all the years Here now are echoes of silence And moments that are filled with tears You see them running down her check Leaves her always lonely and week For it’s him she longs to hold But all with him for now is cold She has heard it been said She has been told Just to forget and try to control The feelings, the love, the sadness, and all the laughter The thoughts she once had of happy ever after Let go of remembering how they lied On the day they said goodbye Or the songs they sang The words were clear But the meaning vague She wishes that was the case today The meaning of the songs Are now to crystal clear That part is what she don’t want to ever hear During the shadows of the night All she wants is him holding her tight She wants to feel wanted, needed, and loved She wants for this to so much And longs to be able to one day thank The good Lord above You can tell she hopes soon this will be close in her sights She prays her emotions of him are right In the still of the night Long before the mornings dew Long before the mornings light I look out my window And I’m startled to see That figure the woman still starring And realize It’s just the reflection of me
