Passing houses Passing walls Concrete swallows all my thoughts Rushing to win time Rushing for more These flattering figures Admired by the masses A tree at the crossing A tree in a park A beaming green spot Enlightens my mind Tempting nightlife Tea-room talks Never touch the core Boy at the window Boy always running into loneliness The boy at the window His mind is blue Divided by love and hate For the life he never knew Blessed by the city Absent gods They don't hide in the concrete Or in bewildered dogs Blinded by grey Blinded by one smile I should have waved at him I should have Boy at the window Boy always running into loneliness Boy at the window Boy wants to tear down loneliness I saw the boy at the window Boy wants to tear down loneliness I know the child at the window Would break the pane to get through And reach out for the love inside you The love he never knew The life he never knew
