From the recording Songbird
Lyrics
I watched them leave
Framed within my window
Friends of mine
Come to take me out
But out there’s mean
Let me sit behind my door closed
They can take their licks
I’ll gladly do without
‘Cause they say this world turns
At, like, a million miles an hour
So I’d rather play things safe
Sitting above my bed of flower’s
It sounds a tad cliche
Being the boy up in his tower
But cliche doesn’t exist behind my window
My friend’s tell me love’s
A part of life that they hold dearly
That I’m missing out
Love can’t shine behind this glass
But I know they’re wrong
And set them down to show them - “Clearly
If that’s all there is then
No thanks, I’d rather pass.”
‘Cause I can tell from here
That love isn’t just a piece of cake
On any given day, I’ll see a
Thousand hearts that break
I swear I’ll never fall in love
It isn’t something I can take
Then I turned and saw her like a painting in my window
Her hair was golden like the break of day
She had a face to make a lonely heart come out
And play
I’m rising from my chair
And making my way across the floor
For the first time in my life
I find that I am wanting more
But I had a final thought
Can you ever close an open door?
And stepped out into the world beyond my window
To the girl with golden hair
“Hello”
