The Coral - Boy at the Window (b-side from the Bill McCai single, 2003)
Lyrics:
Boy at the window watches them come and go
Passing carnivals and midnight shows
But autumn's lonely and summer's gone
Winter's sleeping through his evening song
Family photograph on the mantelpiece
Was he once there or is it all a dream
Sister Rosie dancing down the road
Sees her secrets but never they are told
Where does he go?
No one knows
Never moves from his window
His mother's meeting with his auntie Mo
Currant buns dear you used to love them so
Tells these stories to no one but the night
He's not surprised when he gets no reply
Starlet beauty, some sweet serenade
He's done his duty now he must be saved
Funeral march is beckoning calling out his name
Time for him to go now, isn't that a shame
Well isn't that a shame
Isn't that a shame
Well isn't that a shame
Where does he go?
No one knows
Now he's gone from his window
10 years ago
10 years ago
11 years ago
12 years ago
14 years ago
15 years ago
15 years ago
