Night Windows Lyrics - The Weakerthans

In the stick count for the song 

Of knowing you're gone 

Glancing up at where you lived 

When you lived here 

I see you suddenly alive 

And nearly smiling 

Stop and hold my breath 

And watch the way we used to be 

The full moon makes our faces shine 

Like over-ironed polyester 

Then disappears behind the clouds 

Leaves me under empty rows of night windows 

We could walk to where these streets 

Get pulled together 

Blinking, lined with gravel 

Shoulder squared towards an end 

Where the radio resounds 

From dappling traffic 

Where the power lines steal lessons 

From the hourly news 

Depluralize our casualties 

Drown the generals out in static 

We turn and watch our city sprawl 

Send us signals in the glow of night windows 

Night windows 

Night windows 

(But you're not coming home again) 

Night windows 

(And I won't ever get to say) 

Night windows 

Remember how I'm sorry 

(But you're not coming home again) 

That I miss the way it could be 

(Night windows) 

Remember how I'm sorry 

(And I won't ever get to say) 

That I miss the way it could be 

(Night windows) 

Night windows 

Night windows
