storm windows

i can hear the wheels

of the automobiles

so far away -

just moving along through the drifting snow

it's times like these

when the temperatures freeze

i sit alone just looking at the world

through a storm window

and down on the beach

the sandman sleeps

time don't fly

it bounds and leaps

and a country band

that plays for keeps

they play it so slow

don't let your baby down

don't let your baby down

don't let your baby down

well

the spirits were high

'til the well went dry

for so long the raven at my window

was only a crow

i bought the rights

to the inside fights

and watched a man

just beating his hand

against a storm window

while miles away

o'er hills and streams

a candle burns

a witch's dreams

and silence is golden

till it screams

right through your bones

storm windows - gee but i'm getting old

storm windows - keep away the cold
