The Window
How was I supposed to know,
That that window would be gone?
The day that I looked out last time
Blows in the wind like a song.
The things I would see outside,
Now can no longer be seen.
Now it's a happy memory,
Existing inside of me.
Now there is just a white wall,
Covering that empty space.
And when I go to look out of it,
The plaster touches my face.
The green grass and rolling hills,
The flowers that brightly glow,
All the happy little critters,
I'm sure they're still there, I know.
Even though I can't see them,
Unless I go out the door.
But it will never be the same to me,
'Till I look through the window once more.
