A Window Opens Lyrics by First Aid Kit

The Big Black and the Blue

2010

[Verse]
The window opens
I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers
I think about the interstates
I would like to leave it all
Just for a week or two
Maybe I'd see it in clarity
Whatever I would see

[Verse]
It's all so confusing
I don't know where I stand
I could be anything
But not yours on demand
I would like to leave it all
If I only could
Maybe I'd see it in clarity
If I'd see anything at all

[Chorus]
But the birds, they are singing
That sweet and lonesome song
Oh mother
Oh brother
Take me home today

[Verse]
You may call me irresponsible
Or even carefree
But it's not the way
I am tempted to be
I would like to stay here
And not say a word
Maybe I'd see it in clarity
Or I'll see nothing at all

[Chorus]
But the wolves they are howling
That sweet but haunted song
Oh father
Oh sister
Take me home today

[Outro]
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
