Poet In My Window Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Goodbye gray skies 

I see my heart comin' round the bend 

The sun's comin' up on the Poet In My Window 

Her saving grace is my old friend 

An' I'll never lose if my heart goes flyin' 

If I sail it true and set it free 

It'll come flyin' home, be waitin' in my window 

And callin' for the poet in me 

And I wish you well for your whole lines 

I watch you change within the new 

You've got a pocket full of gold dust waitin' just around the corner 

To free that poet in your moon 

An' you'll never lose if your heart goes flyin' 

If you sail it free and keep it true 

'Cause it'll come flyin' home and be waitin' in your window 

Callin' for the poet in you 

An' I never lose if my heart goes flyin' 

If I sail it true and I set it free 

It comes flyin' home, it's waitin' in my window 

An' callin' for the poet in me 

Fly on your poet's wings with a freed heart 

Love'll find you strong and young again
