Steve Forbert - Smoky Windows lyrics

Creatures of the daylight Fade away into the sky I can hear 'em talking sadly All they ever ask is "why" Memories and shadows Down the sand into the tide See my mother with a baby See my father at her side CHORUS Smoky windows, smoky windows Telegrams and wire Runnin' down beside a train Tumbleweed and fire Blowin' down the endless plain Memories and shadows Down the sand into the blue See my mother with a baby See that summer shining through CHORUS Smoky windows, smoky windows BRIDGE Oh, and the time goes by Oh, and the time goes bye, bye, bye . . . Corridors and stairways Leading up and down the years Tolling bells and echoes Ringing briefly in your ears Memories and shadows Down the sand into the sea See my mother with a baby I guess that babe she held was me CHORUS Smoky windows, smoky windows Steve Forbert Welk Music (ASCAP)/ Rolling Tide Music (ASCAP)
