"At My Window" lyrics
(originally by Townes Van Zandt)
At my window watching the sun go
Hoping the stars know it's time to shine
Daydreams aloft on dark wings
Soft as the sun streams at day's decline
Living is laughing
Dying says nothing at all
Babe and I are lying here
Watching the evening fall
Well, time flows through brave beginnings
And she leaves her endings beneath our feet
Walk lightly upon their faces
Leave gentle traces upon their sleep
Ah living is dancing
Dying does nothing at all
Babe and I lying here
Watching the evening fall
Three dimes, hard luck, and good times
Fast lines and low rhymes ain't much to say
Feel fine, feel low and lazy
Feel gray and hazy, feel far away
Ah living is sighing
Dying ain't flying so high
Babe and I lying here
Watching the day go by
Hoping the stars know it's time to shine
Daydreams aloft on dark wings
Soft as the sun streams at day's decline
Living is laughing
Dying says nothing at all
Babe and I are lying here
Watching the evening fall
Well, time flows through brave beginnings
And she leaves her endings beneath our feet
Walk lightly upon their faces
Leave gentle traces upon their sleep
Ah living is dancing
Dying does nothing at all
Babe and I lying here
Watching the evening fall
Three dimes, hard luck, and good times
Fast lines and low rhymes ain't much to say
Feel fine, feel low and lazy
Feel gray and hazy, feel far away
Ah living is sighing
Dying ain't flying so high
Babe and I lying here
Watching the day go by
