Night Windows Songtext
von The Weakerthans

In the stick count for the song
Of knowing you′re gone
Glancing up at where you lived
When you lived here
I see you suddenly alive
And nearly smiling
Stop and hold my breath
And watch the way you used to be

The full moon makes
Our faces shine
Glover iron polyester
Then disappears
Behind the clouds
Leaves me under empty rows
Of night windows

We could walk to where these streets
Get pulled together


A blinking line with gravel shoulders
Squared towards an end

Where the radio resounds
From doppling traffic
Where the power lines steal lessons
From the hourly news
Depluralize our casualties
Drown the generals out instead
We turn and watch
Our city sprawl
Send us signals in the glow
Of night windows

Night windows


But you're not
Coming home again
And I won′t
Ever get to say
Remember how I'm sorry that
I missed the way good things
Remember how I'm sorry that
I missed the way good things
