The Windows of the Sky

There’re rows and rows of houses

That a traveler must pass by,

For he only sees horizons

In the windows of the sky.

There’re miles and miles of faces

He will never see again,

And he smiles as he remembers

All the moments in the rain.

There are signs that give him warning

So he takes another way.

The rainbow’s like a flower

That he looks for every day.

Some day you’re going to wonder

If there’s anything to know,

And I hope you smile forever

And wherever you may go.

Oh, the windows of the sky

And the lessons of goodbye…

They are just another choice

When you tire of your toys.

Some day you’re going to wonder

If there’s anything to know,

And I hope you smile forever

And wherever you may go.
