Purple Window - Lyrics by Fatima Mansions


Lyrics
He and she, their empty house / He's awake, she sleeps
His eyes are for one sight alone--the purple window
Now his desires, his secret wish, he never lets her see'cause he keeps it here for the shape that lives in the purple window
The purple window / The purple window / The purple window
Celebrations and perspirationand exploration are gone for good now
The end is sometimes hard to see / The way is wide and clearbut with contrition here, remission therewell, it could take weeks or yearsand there's the purple window / The purple window / The purple window
You know where his love goes / and he can see the girl dance
Every move, every line / and he can see his own funeralin the purple window
