lyrics

At My Window

illumined and blind
I dream untroubled
washing my mind
a stream of bubbles
endlessly rise
forming, breaking
ascending the skies
as I awaken

at my window, in my chair
to watch the clouds go by
to sit and ponder
a mind that wonders
why it wonders why

at my window, anywhere
in the world I go
I'm in the best seat
no view is complete
but it's the only view I know

I focus my eyes
where the mirror of sea
and the prism of sky
draw a thin blue line
across the horizon
to vanish in me
at my window
on the grand design

what gives me sight?
and who is seeing
the radiant delight
that thrills my being?

at my window, I stare
but do I really see?
the filtered lenses
of all my senses
distort reality

at my window, I'm aware
but never really know
from pained projection
to vain reflection,
I'm just a picture show

connecting the dots
that appear on the screen
exposing the plot
in the evidence
selecting the shots
and composing a scene
at my window
of experience

replay, eyes closed
watching myself again
the only thing I know
is I am

and all that I see
all I feel, all I think
resolve to a glimmer
of dark and light
the flash of my life
gone in a blink
at my window
on the infinite
