Boy at the Window

Passing houses

Passing walls

Concrete swallows all my thoughts

Rushing to win time

Rushing for more

These flattering figures

Admired by the masses

A tree at the crossing

A tree in a park

A beaming green spot

Enlightens my mind

Tempting nightlife

Tea-room talks

Never touch the core

Boy at the window

Boy always running into loneliness

The boy at the window

His mind is blue

Divided by love and hate

For the life he never knew

Blessed by the city

Absent gods

They don't hide in the concrete

Or in bewildered dogs

Blinded by grey

Blinded by one smile

I should have waved at him

I should have

Boy at the window

Boy always running into loneliness

Boy at the window

Boy wants to tear down loneliness

I saw the boy at the window

Boy wants to tear down loneliness

I know the child at the window

Would break the pane to get through

And reach out for the love inside you

The love he never knew

The life he never knew
