Looking through your window At the empty street from a factory of floating frames It looks so different, but it smells the same this pennyroyal claim No matter how you try The sound won’t let you sleep, with tires turning gravel hard And your home it seems so very far just like a distant star Daylight fading into a glow Slow rain on top of heavy snow Begging to be left alone, but nobody’s home Saving all your jewels for when the Sun goes down Seasons passing with alarming speed It’s going faster than you'd ever believe and soon your children will leave Don’t you know your mother gave you aimless time Now you’re too late to realize 'Cause you told yourself convenient lies to rest your greedy eyes Why can’t we just take it slow Throw all your diamonds in the falling snow? We can find a place, I know, where everybody’s home Staring at the runway from your window seat from the belly of a Boeing crane You swore you’d never come this way again 'Cause every time it’s insane And you turned to your lover as you stood in line You said: It's better were together now Cause if this weather takes our love straight down I’d rather not be around
