Purple Window Lyrics - Fatima Mansions

He and she, their empty house 

He's awake, she sleeps 

His eyes are for one sight alone 

The purple window 

Now his desires, his secret wish 

He never lets her see 

'Cause he keeps it here for the shape that lives 

In the purple window, the purple window 

Celebrations and perspiration 

And exploration are gone for good now 

The end is sometimes hard to see 

The way is wide and clear 

But with contrition here, remission there 

Well, it could take weeks or years 

And there's the purple window 

The purple window 

You know where his love goes 

And he can see the girl dance 

Every move, every line 

And he can see his own funeral 

In the purple window
