Steady Rhythm

Window

And evening fades into night
And every chamber bleeds light
A smoky waft of town life
A medley rises up high
It all blurs on its slow rise
It escapes from windows bright
There's life in the whole town's sigh
There's nobody there in sight

Your window alone is dim
Your chamber is cold within

Why, my friend, did you tell lies
Where, my friend, did you take flight
