Through the Windows - In An Orphan's Eyes

Windmills spin me up and down
Giggles on a broken swing
Here I open all the doors
The phones they ring and ring

I will wait a thousand years
For the touch of another
Lost in dearth they were to me
My father and my mother

If I had had a brother
If raises all these questions
I could build someone, you know
Sometimes I hear laughter by the grey garden
