Winter Windows

There is a man inside a room
in the forest
He sits alone upon the chair
his father left him
In the dark in the dark
in the dark with the radio on
The voice crackles
when it says that
God will save you
He will take you
from the lonely life
you're living
If you give if you give
if you give up on
what you want
The man stands and
pours himself another bourbon
He stops and watches
the birds through the winter windows
And the light and the light
from the morning dew
I thought I love you and
our love would be forever
How could I hit you
the only one who ever
loved me
Said the man said the man
to his shadow
This is the world
this is the world we live in
It's not the one I choose
but it's the one we're given
This is the world
this is the world we live in
And it's the winter windows that ends
become beginnings
Yep
As a boy
he was taught he
was the bad one
One that could
heed the other the protector
He will walk he will walk
he will walk into the river
Sixty years held down
by his brother
Ten years
with the ghost of his father
five years
since he spoke
since he spoke to his only son
This is the world
this is the world we live in
It's not the one I choose
but it's the one we're given
This is the world
this is the world we live in
And it's the winter windows that ends
become beginnings
Yes it's the winter windows that ends
become beginnings
