Creatures of the daylight
|
Fade away into the sky
|
I can hear 'em talking sadly
|
All they ever ask is "why"
|
|
Memories and shadows
|
Down the sand into the tide
|
See my mother with a baby
|
See my father at her side
|
|
CHORUS
|
Smoky windows, smoky windows
|
|
Telegrams and wire
|
Runnin' down beside a train
|
Tumbleweed and fire
|
Blowin' down the endless plain
|
|
Memories and shadows
|
Down the sand into the blue
|
See my mother with a baby
|
See that summer shining through
|
|
CHORUS
|
Smoky windows, smoky windows
|
|
BRIDGE
|
Oh, and the time goes by
|
Oh, and the time goes bye, bye, bye . . .
|
|
Corridors and stairways
|
Leading up and down the years
|
Tolling bells and echoes
|
Ringing briefly in your ears
|
|
Memories and shadows
|
Down the sand into the sea
|
See my mother with a baby
|
I guess that babe she held was me
|
|
CHORUS
|
Smoky windows, smoky windows
