Long Window To Love Lyrics - Deacon Blue

You're taking down the signs 

Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming 

You're turning down the lights 

In this cruel light symbols mean nothing 

You're taking down the signs 

Turning round your eyes 

From dreams that seem so bright 

Flying hope like kites 

Hold loved ones tight 

And turning to the light of that long window to love 

And you forget about the years 

About the planting and the dying and the growing 

And you forget about your cares 

But you remember that they've been forgotten 

By the people sent to London 

They're taking down your cares 

Drinking off your tears 

Gambling on your fears 

For things that cost so dear 

And won't be paid for years 

Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love 

They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under 

They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain 

Its just the same ,just the same, Its just the same ,just the same 

You're taking down the signs 

Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming 

You're turning down the lights 

In this cruel light symbols mean nothing 

You're taking down the signs 

Turning round your eyes 

From dreams that seem so bright 

Flying hope like kites 

Hold loved ones tight 

And turning to the light of that long window to love
