Leaves me under empty rows of night windows
(And I won't ever get to say)
Depluralize our casualties
Remember how I'm sorry
We could walk to where these streets
Then disappears behind the clouds
Blinking, lined with gravel
That I miss the way it could be
From dappling traffic
Like over-ironed polyester
Get pulled together
(Night windows)
Night windows
(But you're not coming home again)
(But you're not coming home again)
Night windows
That I miss the way it could be
(Night windows)
Where the radio resounds
I see you suddenly alive
Remember how I'm sorry
Drown the generals out in static
We turn and watch our city sprawl
Send us signals in the glow of night windows
(And I won't ever get to say)
Night windows
Where the power lines steal lessons
When you lived here
And watch the way we used to be
Night windows
Shoulder squared towards an end
And nearly smiling
Night windows
Stop and hold my breath
From the hourly news
The full moon makes our faces shine
Glancing up at where you lived
