Sea Wolf Winter Windows
There is a man inside
A room in the forest
He sits alone upon
The chair his father left him
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
With the radio on
The voice crackles
As it says that god will save you
He will take you from
The lonely life you're living
If you give up, if you give up, if you give up
The mans stands and
Pours himself another bourbon
He stops and watches
The birds through the winter windows
And the light, and the light, and the light
From the morning dew
"I thought I'd love you
And our love would be forever
How could I hit you
The only one who ever loved me?"
Said the man, said the man, said the man
To his shadow
This is the world
This is the world we live in
It's not the one I'd choose
But it's the one we're given
This is the world
This is the world we live in
And it's through winter windows
That ends become beginnings
As a boy
He was taught he was the bad one
Ones the good
He's the other
The protector
He will walk, he will walk, he will walk
Into the river
Sixty years
Held down by his brother
Ten years
With the ghost of his father
And five years since he spoke, since he spoke
To his only son
This is the world
This is the world we live in
It's not the one I'd choose
But it's the one we're given
This is the world
This is the world we live in
But it's through winter windows
That ends become beginnings.
