lyrics

there’s a light that shines from the window
through the rain as it falls on the park
and the cars that shush by
singing baby don’t cry
to the girl who looks out into the dark

on the street she sees the cars speeding up now
as they drive through her part of town
beneath the swings papers spin in the rain and the wind
and the slides are leaning down to the ground
whatever she sees, the lights and the trees
they melt and run down, down, down
they wash away
her eyes turning red as she’s hanging her head
and the night has come to claim another day

for a breath, all her world turns to silver
from the corner of her eye
down the street there’s a man with his throat in his hand
and the collar of his suit turned up high
he shrugs down the lane, leans into the rain
he’s coming closer now, now, now
he’s walking by
and down in her heart she feels something start
and his face hangs like the moon against the sky

all her life she’s wondered
would her love be thunder
would her heart fall under
strikes of silver from a stranger’s spell

all her life she’s wanted
only to be wanted
could her love be wanted
by a stranger walking past her window well
past her window well
walking past her window
window past her window
walking past her window window well

there’s a boy who walks alone past a window
there’s a girl who sits alone inside
there’s a dream where they meet, a diff’rent day, a diff’rent street
a diff’rent world where boys and girls don’t have to hide
but that’s not their world and she’s not that girl
and he’s a stranger to her
and to them all
it shouldn’t be wrong but he doesn’t belong
and her window may as well be a wall
no it shouldn’t be wrong but he doesn’t belong
and her window may as well be a wall
