At my window
              
watching the sun go
            
hoping the stars know
            
it's time to shine

daydreams
         
aloft on dark wings
            
soft as the sun streams
           
at days decline


Living is laughing
                     
dying says nothing at all

baby and I are laying here
                     
watching the evening fall

Time flows
through brave beginnings
and she leaves her endings
beneath our feet
walk lightly
upon their faces
leave gentle traces
upon their sleep

Living is dancing
dying does nothing at all
baby and I are laying here
wathing the evening fall

Three dimes
hard luck and good times
fast lines and low rhymes
ain't much to say
Feel fine
feel low and lazy
feel grey and hazy
feel far away

Living is sighing
dying ain't flying so high
baby and I are lying here
watching the day go by

At my window - watchin' the sun go
                                   
Hoping the stars know - it's time to shine
                         
The day dreams - aloft on dark wings
                                     
Soft as the sun streams - at days decline
                                          
Living is laughing - Dying says nothing at all
                                                 
Babe and I are laying here - watching the evening fall
