Lyrics:
Griffith Nanci Poet In My Window

I see my heart comin' round the bend The sun's comin' up on the Poet In My Window Her saving grace is my old friend An' I'll never lose if my heart goes

Translation: Nanci Griffith. Poet In My Window.

So much silence to my hometown streets Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep Where the shadow's fall from sycamore trees Fight off this

The sun will stop shinin' Hearts will stop poundin' The screen is so lonely tonight The men are out prayin' The women are sayin' She died for the loss

leave here knowing That the dreams are still growing As long as you're holding that rose My pockets are clean Though they're empty half the time I spend my

sky I see my heart comin' round the bend The sun's comin' up on the Poet In My Window Her saving grace is my old friend I'll never lose if my heart

She's just a hill country girl home from the city Her pocket's full of plenty of those neon lights And her mother's smile shines on her youngest child

world was more real to me Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown My love, my love has gone away My love, my love what can I say My love would never see
