3. Old Lady at the Window

There's an old lady I see, maybe she's talking to me

She sits there reading the news, hoping that she'll play the blues

​

Telling me, telling me, one day she'll see

​

Sitting alone by the fire, one day she'll find her desire,

Wondering thoughts in her mind, maybe she isn't too kind

​

Telling me, telling me, one day she'll see

​

The elderly, they see the destruction that is in the youth, oh right

She knows that this generation is going down straight to the ground

Don't need my guidance, my patience, my time is running about

She'd rather stay at home and watch the world go by

​

Knows she has something to say, knows she cannot find a way

The night she's been thinking of you, Casting her strange voodoo

​

Oh she's trying her best, she's playing the game, but you're all the same

​

Run little boy, you're alone, oh can you find your way home?

Trying to call out your name, oh you ignore, such a shame

​

Oh she's trying her best, playing the game, but you're all the same



The old lady i see. What? At the window inside

She knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, that you're mine

She wants to go outside, but there's nothing that praises her life

So what can you do, she'll sit alone and die

​

Oh she's trying her best, playing the game, but you're all the same

​

Doesn't want to insist, she cannot resist, wants to help you enjoy life

There's a part of her being coming from the cosmos unseen

She knows you're lying, she knows you're crying, she knows by the sign in your eyes

She'd rather take her time and watch the world go by, alright , oh my

​

Got to walk to her door, cause she stole the one I love

Don't wanna go here no more, I only want my golden dove

Her daughter brings my cat down, sleeping with a golden crown,

She said what a wonder he's been

Something I could have not seen

​

I'd like to take it's head, and shake it round, see what's inside

but he's lying in her bed, not looking right, he's hollow eyed

Telling me I know you, i'm coming right by your side

Telling me I love you, i won't come to you on through the night

​

Looking through down my street i see a cat walking to me

If that cat could speak i belong to that old lady

She ties me down and straps me up and combs me round

It's a sound that i hear oh please don't fear i'm right here

There's a child that i found, he's in the sand in the playground

Oh mistress please let me out, I'm sorry i can't live without
