about

one of those songs that starts with a chord that bewitches you, an image it evokes, and unreels from there

lyrics

stained glass window

the freezing rain on the leaves
the sparrows shivering in the eaves
the stained-glass panes in the front door
bled their colours on the threadbare floor
you laughed at the cold
in your ragged biker jacket and your old torn jeans
as we huddled round the fire
in our country nook under black oak beams

in the snug at the barley mow
your crowd of friends all in tow
spliff and bitter brandy and blow
we waved the time away like the clouds of smoke
you laughed at the future
as we dressed up to hit the town
never think was your motto
and we never thought anything could ever bring us down

but the time came between us like a flood
a tide of debris and bad blood
the cottage slipped away like a dream
with its fireplace and oak beams in the shadow of the wood
i see you laughing in the rain
now that you’re beyond all pain
i want to remember you in this timeless view
through the stained-glass window pane
