The Other Window Lyrics

The Other Window lyrics

He took his seat on the foreign train He thought it pleasant to travel again
Mindful of the journey's end He read again the letter from his friend Time
passed as it often does The seat was hard, the carriage fetid He was dressed
for summer, but still he sweated It was better than being home Feeling the
cold, and living alone Time passed slowly Around him people spoke in French
Despite schooldays it made no sense Occasional stares caught his eye He was
tempted to smile, but Being shy, time passed When he looked through the window
For the thousandth time He saw a black horse fighting for its life In a barbed
wire fence Fatally tangled The more it struggled The more it was strangled Time
sped up He turned away There was nothing he could do The other window Had a
nicer view Time passed painfully
