The Open Window - John & Mary[00:00:00]

She walked away with the ring in her hand[00:00:22]

The back door open scattered coins on her night stand[00:00:28]

The room around her so silent and still[00:00:33]

The echoes of the voices lingered from a time[00:00:38]

When so long ago and far away[00:00:43]

How sweet the fiddle bow did play[00:00:46]

The smiles around the table as they talked intimately[00:00:49]

When she would leave them her children alone[00:00:55]

Their cries and protests made her want to stay back home[00:01:00]

In isolation she worked into night[00:01:06]

Her hands all calloused by the twisted vines she'd fight[00:01:11]

Then she'd think of times so long ago[00:01:15]

The dinner embers still aglow[00:01:18]

The smiles around the table as they talked intimately[00:01:21]

The window was open the daughter was pale[00:01:29]

The steam pipes were broken and her hand[00:01:40]

Froze to the rail[00:01:45]

When so long ago and far away[00:02:09]

How sweet the fiddle bow did play[00:02:13]

The smiles around the table as they talked intimately[00:02:15]

The grief lay all around her[00:02:22]

No food heat just war[00:02:27]

She looked in the tarnished mirror her glowing eyes[00:02:32]

Traveled to a place[00:02:37]

Where they would drink and dance on dusty florid days[00:02:39]

The little boy sat and polished his shoes[00:02:43]

He'd rub them with a cloth so shined he couldn't lose[00:02:48]

A small green vase for his mom he wished to win[00:02:54]

To bring the life back to the face that's always been[00:02:59]

Full of love and life a sparkle lay[00:03:04]

A mother's tear to make her stay[00:03:07]

The sky grew dark the rain clouds pour[00:03:09]

She wouldn't see her anymore[00:03:12]

So long ago and far away how sweet the fiddle bow did play[00:03:15]

The smiles around the table as they talked intimately[00:03:20]

The window was open the daughter was pale[00:03:28]

The steam pipes were broken and her hand[00:03:39]

Froze to the rail[00:03:44]
