Looking through the window can you tell me what you see.
You're sure you're really seeing what is meant to be a Glass
a mirror to reflect what I conspire a vision, image I desire.

Living in a glass house shielding all that's meant for me
Can you clear the shade and can you tell me what you see.

Shadow fills the light until the glass house becomes the
night
Dark is gleaming or am I dreaming
Running everywhere
Seeing clearly when I dare
Is it today or is it your way
And the moon must fall
Inspiration waits for your call for you to get a silhouette

Disappearing everywhere I go
I look to you for what I do

And any time is never mine
