Dan Fogelberg - Windows and Walls lyrics

Up every morning long before day
Cooking her breakfast alone
She quietly dresses and pulls up the shades
And sit's in the chair by the phone

But nobody ever comes by anymore
Nobody ever calls most days she sit's and
Just stares at the windows and walls
Windows and walls

Children all married husband's passed on
Nothing but time on her hands
Most of her mornings are spent in her dreams
Or making her sad little plans

Maybe she'll go to the corner today
And pick up the new McCalls
If just to escape for an hour
From her windows and walls windows and walls

The clock on the mantel chiming the hours
Must be the loneliest sound
She washes her dishes and waters her flowers
And afterwards has to sit down

Sometimes she still can remember a child
Playing with china dolls
Now all that she's left
Are these memories and windows and walls
Windows and walls (day after day)
Windows and walls
