HIGH WINDOW

Lyrics

I used to walk so far away (you let me in)
Or lock the house up tight for days (and look within)
Time has brought me to your shore (we learn to swim)
And now I read the God-bright waves that drown us in the end

Oh you learn too late to make it count
(And now the feeling’s just the same)
Or you fall behind, you never find your way out
(I used to walk so far away)
And you carry time, and you carry space and doubt
Down in the places you waited for the day
(And now the feeling's just the same)

I watched you through that mirror pane
(A night between)
You checked your hair for signs of gray
(Younger than me)
A neighbor calls out the wrong name
(You let him be)
And lock the house to stop the rains that drown us in the end

Oh you learn too late to make it count
(And now the feeling’s just the same)\
Or you fall behind, you never find your way out
(I used to walk so far away)
And you carry time, and you carry space and doubt
Down in the places you waited for the day

I used to walk so far away
You check your hair for signs of gray (And look within)
Neighbor calls out the wrong name (We learn to swim)
And now I read the God-bright waves that drown us in the end

Oh you learn too late to make it count
(And now the feeling’s just the same)
Or you fall behind, you never find your way out
(I used to walk so far away)
And you carry time, and you carry space and doubt
Down in the places you waited for the day

And now the feeling's just the same
(And you carry time, and you carry space and doubt)
And now the feeling's just the same
(And you carry time, and you carry space and doubt)
And now the feeling's just the same
(Or you fall behind, you never find your way out)
Down in the places you waited for the day
And now the feeling's just the same
