Lyrics

Once a child crawled THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW
Mother called him, no one answered
She sat broken, cried out for her baby to return
But no one answered

Down the driveway, across the field ran David
While the moonlight softly glistened
Guilt falls swiftly, she wished to God that she had taken more time
Just to listen

Night after night, she turns on the light
So he'll come home
Bright is the light that shines tonight
For he's alone

Four months later, THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW
Stares a woman quite sedated
All the doctors say she lost her mind
On the day she lost David

Night after night she turns on the light
So he'll come home
But no one can quite see the light
That she turns on

Come home David
Where's my David?

In the shadows, David crossed the field
Where he played before he'd gone
Up the driveway, THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW he cries "Mother
I am home"

But no one was there, an empty chair
By the window
So he went inside and turned on the light
So she'd come home

Come home Mother
Where's my mother?
