A Light in the Window
Carrie Newcomer
(Verse)
Looking out at the night, the only driver's wheel
Curving hips made of snow in the withered fields
There's a house up way back where the lamp light glows
Left a star out in the cold for the people I'll never know
(Chorus)
Who left the light, left the light in the window?
(Verse)
What would I change if the choice were mine?
I was doing the best I knew at the time
And every door and was opened and door that closed
All the things that made me glow, set me off down another road
(Chorus)
Out to look for a light, for a light in the window
(Bridge)
Now the old has already passed away
But the new is too new to be born today
So I'm throwing out seeds on the winter snow
As the cold wind begins to blow
Standing here on a new threshold
(Chorus)
I can see a warm dim light in the window
And the world is a little storm
And the world is a little close
And the world is a little light
And it's moving very fast
(Instrumental break)
(Bridge)
I pass from mystery to mystery, so I won't lie
I don't what happens when people die
But I hope that I see you walking slow
Smiling wide as the sunlight grows
Drop my map with a thousand folds
In the distance I see a glow
(Chorus)
There's a light, there' s a light, there's a light
In the window
