Beyond The Windows
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2015, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

Beyond the windows
We flourish; we falter one by one
Beyond the windows
In holding patterns opposite the sun
Beyond the windows
The family plugged in to tiny screens
Beyond the windows
Lovers sleep, sharing the same dreams
Now, aren’t we a fine collection of loose ends
Far more than this flesh and bone that we defend
So, on and on and on our story goes
Beyond the windows
Beyond the windows
At dining table, father reads to boy
Beyond the windows
Two dancers silhouetted in their joy
Beyond the windows
Tiny babe cries out for mother’s care
Beyond the windows
Mourners weep for a man with no breathe to spare
Now, aren’t we a fine collection of loose ends
Far more than this flesh and bone that we defend
So, on and on and on our story goes
Beyond the windows
