Dan Fogelberg - Windows and Walls lyrics

Up every morning long before day

Cooking her breakfast alone

She quietly dresses and pulls up the shade

And sits in the chair by the phone

But nobody ever comes by anymore

Nobody ever calls

Most days she sits and just stares

At the windows and walls

Windows and walls

Children all married, husband's passed on

Nothing but time on her hands

Most of her mornings are spent in her dreams

Or making her sad little plans

Maybe she'll go to the corner today

And pick up the new McCall's

If just to escape for an hour

From her windows and walls

Windows and walls, windows and walls

The clock on the mantel chiming the hours

Must be the loneliest sound

She washes her dishes and waters her flowers

And afterwards has to sit down

Sometimes she still can remember a child

Playing with china dolls

Now all that she's left

Are these memories and windows and walls

Windows and walls

Windows and walls

Windows and walls (day after day)

Windows and walls (day after day)

Windows and walls (day after day)

Windows and walls (day after day)
