Bed By the Window

Two old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly

Confided to their bed, their bodies is given way

Old Joel lay by the window and watch the day go by

And Bill lives to hear the tale about the world outside

They share with each other, the stories of their lives

Relived of all the memories and dreams of a better time

Outside the leaves were changing, summer turn to fall

And from the bed by the window, old Joel described it all

From the bed by the window, he tells how the children play

The lovers in the park, the ducks out on the lake

The little boy swept the sidewalk, when the sun came up each day

From the bed by the window, he told it just that way

On a cold winter morning, in the light of the dawn

The bed by the window was empty, old Joel had pass and gone

They move Bill by the window, he couldn't hold back the tears

He finally sees the view outside after all these years

From the bed by the window, he couldn't see out at all

There was nothing out that window

But an old brick wall

A new friend shares a room in the home for the elderly

Confided to his bed, his body is given way

Now Bill live by the window, as the days go by

And his new friend live to hear the tales about the world outside

From the bed by the window, he tells how the children play

The lovers in the park, the ducks out on the lake

A little boy swept the sidewalk, when the sun came up each day

From the bed by the window, he told it just that way

Two old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly
