Smoky Windows

Lyrics

Creatures of the daylight
 Fade away into the sky
 I can hear 'em talking sadly
 All they ever ask is "why"
 Memories and shadows
 Down the sand into the tide
 See my mother with a baby
 See my father at her side
 CHORUS
 Smoky windows, smoky windows
 Telegrams and wire
 Runnin' down beside a train
 Tumbleweed and fire
 Blowin' down the endless plain
 Memories and shadows
 Down the sand into the blue
 See my mother with a baby
 See that summer shining through
 CHORUS
 Smoky windows, smoky windows
 BRIDGE
 Oh, and the time goes by
 Oh, and the time goes bye, bye, bye . . .
 Corridors and stairways
 Leading up and down the years
 Tolling bells and echoes
 Ringing briefly in your ears
 Memories and shadows
 Down the sand into the sea
 See my mother with a baby
 I guess that babe she held was me
 CHORUS
 Smoky windows, smoky windows
