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
