The Fatima Mansions - Purple Window lyrics

rate me

He and she, their empty house

He's awake, she sleeps

His eyes are for one sight alone--the purple window

Now his desires, his secret wish

he never lets her see

'cause he keeps it here for the shape that lives

in the purple window

The purple window

Celebrations and perspiration

and exploration are gone for good now

The end is sometimes hard to see

The way is wide and clear

but with contrition here, remission there

well, it could take weeks or years

and there's the purple window

The purple window

You know where his love goes

and he can see the girl dance

Every move, every line

and he can see his own funeral

in the purple window
