The Window |

| The sea is pounding at my window
Wants to baptize my mind There's a thousand politicians at my back door Blinding me with their lies Don't tell me your problems my friend I've heard them time and time and time and time again Get on your plastic words and fly If you don't have the truth friend, then I don't have the time The earth is trembling beneath me And I don't know what's to come The foreign soldier fires his weapon And a tear runs down the lonely scar Don't tell me your problems my friend I've heard them time and time and time and time again Get on your plastic words and fly If you don't have a heart friend, then I don't have the time I've traveled through the seasons so many times The saddest sight that I could see Was the youngest brother being hung 'Neath the weeping willow tree I've sat 'neath that weeping willow tree Trying to deside [sic] wrong from right The ancient scriptures that lay beside me Vanished with God into the night The sea is pounding at my window Should I let it in There's a hungry tramp at my back door Can I turn my eyes from him Don't tell me your problems my friend I've heard them time and time and time and time again Get on your plastic words and fly If you don't have any love friend, then I don't have the time |
