Outside my Window Lyrics

I looked outside my window and saw the world as before

where token ‘I tried’s dance with cheap alibies

who whisper their promise of more

I cut my ties to the apron of fact and kissed goodbye to the sky

I mortgaged my heart for the sake of my art

and the lure of a worthy ‘I tried’

But the world invades my dream

and it drags me by my eyes

to the window I had chosen to close

Where it soothes me with beauty

and peace time I love yous

and contorts me into a man

And now the dream is real

and our love commands the waves

the moonlight, the wind and the tide

But with each word we normalise

and unwind the tapestry

sweet alibies are promising me more

I looked outside my window and saw the world as before

where token ‘I tried’s dance with cheap alibies

who whisper their promise of more
