lyrics

I SAW YOU THROUGH BROKEN GLASS

In the springtime, I smelled flowers
Come the summer I heard the birds
In the autumn I saw the moon
In the winter I felt the snow
In the solitude I found freedom
In the quiet I found contentment
In the darkness things were certain
Unrelenting, vivid and cold

I saw you through through a window
I saw you through the broken glass

I’m deluded, I’m enlightened
I’m sustained by either state
From morning to dusk I read wordless text
At dawn I give in and I’m lost in thought
The warblers whistle from windswept willows.
And dogs bark to me from down the village
I can’t describe these feelings in me
How can I give you a heart so overwhelmed?

I saw you through through a window
I saw you through the broken glass

Well now you are out there and I am somewhere
And this is the future, and we are here
No one’s walking hand in hand
And we know nothing down to a man
Who’s an optimist? Who’s a fool? Who’s a dreamer?
Not a hope in the world, but remains a believer?
We’re abused by the takers and ignored by redeemers
We’re lost in the stars, they’re our last great deceiver

I saw you through through a window
I saw you through the broken glass

Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
Thinking of things you can’t understand
Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
It’s barely enough, it’s the best that you can
Sitting on th red e steps staring at the sky
Looking at the sun thinking of time
Sitting on the steps staring into space
Thinking to yourself get me out if this place

Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
Thinking of things you can’t understand
Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
It’s barely enough, it’s the best that you can
Sitting on th red e steps staring at the sky
Looking at the sun thinking of time
Sitting on the steps staring into space
Thinking to yourself get me out if this place

Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
Thinking of things you can’t understand
Sitting on the steps your head in your hands
It’s barely enough, it’s the best that you can
Sitting on th red e steps staring at the sky
Looking at the sun thinking of time
Sitting on the steps staring into space
Thinking to yourself get me out if this place
