Open up the Window Lyrics

Well open up the window the air is stale in this room

The evening air will help clear my head

And listen to the day's end

Like a siren call to sleep

And take another hour to myself

Have I been doing this all wrong the path in front of me

Has never looked so far away

Is it time I give a try to all the places that they tell me

I should come again

Well the spirits of the evening are standing there with open arms

They welcome you with smiles and a song

They pat you on the back and say that

It's been far too long

We thought we might have lost you for a while

They're lighting candles on the floor

They're burning pictures of the time that I would best forget

They're playing music in the night

They're lighting fires in those places I've long neglected

And I feel so warm

Like I did before

When there wasn't a worry on my mind

Well open up the front door let some people in this room

They've been outside for far too long

And light another candle so that they can see their way

The path is long and winding to the end

And hold a lantern to your face

To show them all you're not the same as just a year ago

And lay the places at the table

And invite them all to stay for just a little while

So they can feel the warmth

Like they did before

And open up the window let the noise out of this room

And fill it up again with a song
