boy at the window
coral, the
boy at the window watches them come and go
winter's sleeping to his evening song
a family photograph on the mantlepiece
was he once there or is it all a dream?
his sister rosie dancing down below
he sees her secrets but never they are told
where does he go? no one knows
he never moves from his window
his mother's meeting with his aunty
he tells his stories to no one but the night
he's not surprised when he gets no reply
starlit beauty of some sweet serenade
the funeral march is beckoning
it's time for him to go now
where does he go? no one knows
