This is one of my earliest songs. A young woman, (at least in my original imagined scenario, she could be any age) spends the night singing songs as she gazes out her window at the lights of the city…
Ultimately this is a theme that you will notice running through my entire catalog.
There are probably at least a dozen songs that challenge the listener to “look around”, “open your eyes”, “pay attention”.
Ultimately that isn’t me being redundant it’s a message we have been receiving from “the home office” for a long time.
In NLP (check out my other site, HonestHypnosis.com ) we discover that our entire world is really happening within our consciousness. What other people do or say or think is open to our own interpretation.
I’m sure we’ll talk about this more in future episodes! Look around at your life, your day and imagine it’s a song you are singing… :o)

Songs Through A Window
Song #12 | December 1977
She sings love songs to the traffic light
That lives outside her window
And the rust and concrete symphony
That drifts in from the street
Finds its way into the background harmony
All night…
The clock on the dresser
Grinds away the time
And improvises any tune that comes to mind
She sings so many things through the window
The near and far away
She sings the song of the night and the day
She hums ballads to the bridges
That look like cages full of stars
And the stained glass poetry
Of the moving cars
Emerges as a painting in red and white
All night…
The clock on the dresser grinds away the time
And improvises any tune that comes to mind
She sings so many things through the window
The near and far away
She sings the song of the night and the day
And even as she’s singing
The dawn begins to rise
The new sun offers up itself
To the altar of her eyes
She bows her head in a prayer with the eastern skies
Ahhh….
The clock on the dresser grinds away the time
And improvises any tune that comes to mind…
