Townes Van Zandt
At My Window (The Nashville Sessions)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Living is sighing
Dying says nothing at all
Babe and I lying here
Watching the evening fall
[Verse 2]
Time flows through brave beginnings
And leaves her endings beneath our feet
Walk lightly upon their faces
Leave gentle traces upon their sleep
[Chorus 2]
Living is dancing
Dying's doing nothing at all
Babe and I lying here
Watching the evening fall
[Verse 3]
Three dimes, hard luck and good times
Bad rhymes and fine lines, not much to say
Feel fine, feel low and lazy
Feel gray and hazy, feel far away
[Chorus 3]
Living ain't lying
Dying ain't flying so high
Babe and I wonderin'
Watching the day go by
