Outside this window...

Life goes on outside this window
The wheels go ‘round
But they don’t make a sound
That resounds and reaches the other side of the window.

Life goes on across the sea
They walk and talk and wonder what if
What if the girl where still here

Life goes on outside the city walls
That protect and defend
They stand tall and strong
The life inside the city
Walls

Life goes on outside this tenement
With its tenants forgotten in abysmal silence
Life forgotten
Frozen in time
They do not go on but
Life goes on outside this tenement

Life goes on outside this window
Look down, but they don’t look up
At who
Who are you?
Who is this inside the walls protected by this transparent
Window?

Life does go on my friend
A fool would think otherwise.
Life goes on outside this window.
Here’s to you, one more time,
And for the last

Life goes on outside this window.
