Windows - Jimmy Fortune

We start out dressed in pinks and blues

Behind crowded nursery room windows

First school bus ride scared to death

Teardrops fall and faces pressed on windows

How we sposed to learn to read and write

With all that livin goin on outside

Windows to the world and to the soul

To the past and down the road to where we wanna be

Windows some are open some are closed

For reasons only God would know some of us get set free

And some miss those windows

Can’t stop it once young love begins

So we sneak out and we sneak in windows

Then we stay up dreamin all night long

About just married written on windows

Who’d a thought our hearts’d get broken like they did

Like shattered glass those backyard baseballs hits

Windows to the world and to the soul

To the past and down the road to where we wanna be

Windows some are open some are closed

For reasons only God would know some of us get set free

And some miss those windows

We wish we could but we can’t go back

Some ships come in and go like that

We count amens and we count regrets

Ain’t that just life more or less

Windows some are open some are closed

For reasons only God would know some of us get set free

And some miss those windows
