At My Window - Townes Van Zandt

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

Living is laughing

Dying says nothing at all

Babe and I lying here

Watching the evening fall

Well Time flows

Through brave beginnings

And she leaves her endings

Beneath our feet

Walk lightly

Upon their faces

Leave gentle traces

Upon their sleep

Ah living is dancing

Dying does nothing at all

Babe and I lying here

Watching the evening fall

Three dimes

Hard luck and good times

Fast lines and low rhymes

Ain’t much to say

Feel fine

Feel low and lazy

Feel gray and hazy

Feel far away

Ah living is sighing

Dying ain’t flying so high

Babe and I lying here

Watching the day go by
