Gordon Lightfoot - In A Windowpane Lyrics
I looked into a windowpaneLast evening in a city far awayI was feelin sad and blueI wondered then if I should really stayWanting someone to be with me in the light of this uncertain timeWaiting by the window for the man insideTo please make up his mindWill you be one who passed through but never sawNever knowing never feeling anythingWill you live your whole life through never knowing what to doWill you be one who passed through but never sawI walked along the roadway to a fountainWhere lovers come to meetA hobo walked up to me, I could tellHe didnt have enough to eatHe said, good sir you look so kindAnd though the years have stripped me to the boneIt seems I am the better manFor in this place Ive never walked aloneWill you be one who passed through but never sawNever knowing never feeling anythingWill you live your whole life through never knowing what to doWill you be one who passed through but never sawWhere will you be, my friendly, when yourTelephone aint givin out no callsAnd when the seasons come to haunt youWill you still find springtime in the fallAnd when youre on your islandWill you wave at every ship that passes byAnd will you feed a hungry manI thank you, sir,Now Ill just say goodbyeDont you be one who passed through but never sawNever knowing never feeling anythingWill you live your whole life through never knowing what to doWill you be one who passed through but never sawWill you live your whole life through never knowing what to doWill you be one who passed through but never saw
