A Window Opens

First Aid Kit · The Big Black & The Blue [2010]

The window opens I hear the toddling waves

I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates

I would like to leave it all just for a week or two

Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see



It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand

I could be anything but not yours on demand

I would like to leave it all if I only could

Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all



But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song

Oh mother oh brother

Take me home today



You may call me irresponsible or even carefree

It makes me feel like I'm part of the earth

I would like to stay here and just watch the sky

Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all



And the wolfs they are singing that sweet but haunted song

Oh father oh sister

Take me home today
