Wire - The Other Window lyrics

rate me

He took his seat on the foreign train<br />

He thought it pleasant to travel again<br />

Mindful of the journey's end<br />

He read again the letter from his friend<br />

Time passed as it often does<br />

The seat was hard, the carriage fetid<br />

He was dressed for summer, but still he sweated<br />

It was better than being home<br />

Feeling the cold, and living alone<br />

Time passed slowly<br />

Around him people spoke in French<br />

Despite schooldays it made no sense<br />

Occasional stares caught his eye<br />

He was tempted to smile, but<br />

Being shy, time passed<br />

When he looked through the window<br />

For the thousandth time<br />

He saw a black horse fighting for it's life<br />

In a barbed wire fence<br />

Fatally tangled<br />

The more it struggled<br />

The more it was strangled<br />

Time sped up<br />

He turned away<br />

There was nothing he could do<br />

The other window<br />

Had a nicer view<br />

Time passed painfully
