To All the Lights in the Windows

Moses up on the mountainside, what a place to meet

He brought his pad and his pencil, poured himself some gypsy tea

And all the world's multiplicity, they turn his brain and his soul to stone

He drew his face on a tablet and carried it back home

Jesus off in the water, standing on His feet

Yeah, that's the thing about charisma it makes everyone believe

But there is nothing impossible

When I'm with you and when you're with me

I got a sad sinking feeling that, that can never be

But I'm going to do what I can for you, I will make a plea

To all the lights in the windows, the puddles in the streets

And all the lovers that you've been teasing from your balcony

May they carry you far from my memory

Solomon heard a protest from the lower court

Reached in his ear for a silver dollar just like he'd done before

He tossed it high, said that wisdom's fickle and chance is God's retort

And handed them a sentence, it was death by Trojan horse

Pharaoh woke from a bad dream splashed some water on his face

When it's a matter of nightmares you had better ask a slave

And he may tell you a famine's coming or he may look away

If he's kind then return it, let him lick your plate

But I'm gonna do what I can for you, I will make a plea

To all the birds in the chimneys, the whales up on the beach

And all the footsteps that you've been hearing like a timpani

May they carry you far from your enemies

I'm gonna do what I can for you, I will make a plea

To all the lights in the windows, the puddles in the streets

And all the hours that you've been sitting at your vanity

May they carry you far from your misery, may they carry you far

Jesus off in the water, standing on His feet

Yeah, that's the thing about charisma it makes everyone believe

That there is nothing impossible

When I'm with you and when you're with me

I got a sad sinking feeling, I got a sad sinking feeling

I got a sad sinking feeling that will never be
