Window gazer, window gazer,
your frosted pane/pain (you choose) has all but gone dark,
your might and meadow are waiting in the park.
So put your requiem on mute. Put your requiem on mute.
For there is much to see and do, there is much to see and do.
There are larks on the trees, forget-me-nots by your feet,
And they're all singing songs of the past.
Oh lay down your sorrows and look for tomorrows
In the seeds beside the grass.
Paper boy, paper boy,
though your bike may seem the pinnacle of height
the world is not just black and white.
So print your heart and stamp your card.
Print your heart and stamp your card.
For when life may get quite hard, when life gets quite hard.
There are larks on the trees, forget-me-nots by your feet,
And they're all singing songs of the past.
Oh lay down your sorrows and look for tomorrows
In the seeds beside the grass.
Mother warm, mother warm,
this man is no longer your baby born, who you
fed, sheltered, comforted from the storm when the winds went
Oh-oh-wah-Oh-oh-wah-Oh-oh-wah-Oh-oh-wah-Oh-oh-ooh so,
Do not let regret, and spilled laundry detergent
keep you from what is yet to come, to come.
Cause there are larks on the trees, forget-me-nots by your feet,
And they're all singing songs of the past.
Oh lay down your sorrows and look for tomorrows
In the seeds beside the grass.
