Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Long Window To Love lyrics

You're taking down the signs

Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming

You're turning down the lights

In this cruel light symbols mean nothing

You're taking down the signs

Turning round your eyes

From dreams that seem so bright

Flying hope like kites

Hold loved ones tight

And turning to the light of that long window to love

And you forget about the years

About the planting and the dying and the growing

And you forget about your cares

But you remember that they've been forgotten

By the people sent to London

They're taking down your cares

Drinking off your tears

Gambling on your fears

For things that cost so dear

And won't be paid for years

Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love

They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under

They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain

Its just the same ,just the same, Its just the same ,just the same

You're taking down the signs

Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming

You're turning down the lights

In this cruel light symbols mean nothing

You're taking down the signs

Turning round your eyes

From dreams that seem so bright

Flying hope like kites

Hold loved ones tight

And turning to the light of that long window to love
