Looking out at the night beyond the driver's wheel Curving hips made of snow in the winter fields There's a house set way back where the lamp light glows Like a star out in the cold Filled with people I'll never know Who left a light left a light in the window? What would I change if the choice were mine? I was doing the best I knew at the time And every door that was opened and door that closed All the things that made me grow Sent me off down another road Off to look for a light for a light in the window Now the old has already passed away But the new is too new to be born today So I'm throwing out seeds on the winter snow As the cold wind begins to blow Standing here on a new threshold I can see a light there's a light in the window And the world is made of stone And the world is made of glass And the world is made of light And it's moving very fast I pass from mystery to mystery so I won't lie I don't know what happens when people die But I hope that I see you walking slow Smiling wide as the sunrise grows Drop my map with a thousand folds In the distance I see a glow There's a light there' s a light there's a light In the window
