The Window Shade Lyrics by Ismay

Desert Pavement

2023

[Verse 1]
The shade
Cuts the light from my eyes
And I look now at you ‘cross the table
Your look to your hands then the cloth
It's red paisley and a plate of sable
[Verse 2]
We speak whether we should remain
In this house on a hill where the wind sounds
Each day, and it rattles the doors
And it ruffles and raises the dry ground
[Chorus]
I’ve tried to leave several times now before
Once with you, once alone, wasn’t able
But now, we are thinking again
Can’t be borne on our shoulders, unable
[Verse 3]
And yet, how about how the light
Comes each evening there through the window
We’ll miss how the grass rises up
Each November through dry ground, as the wind blows
[Chorus]
Reasons to leave are the fires that rage
No one visits to sit at this table
Seasons reprieve when the fog covers ground
How do we keep our inner lives stable?
[Bridge]
The shade
Cuts the light from my eyes
And I look now at you ‘cross the table
(Mmmmm)
(Mmmmm)
[Chorus]
I’ve tried to leave several times now before
Once with you, once alone, wasn’t able
But now, we are thinking again
Can’t be borne on our shoulders, unable
