The Brass Window

Lyric Copyright 1996 by Lani K. and Lindsey B. Thompson

When we were young,
Love joined our hearts.
From that day on we vowed
Never to part.

Do you recall
Windows of brass,
When they all tried to say
Love could not last?

We looked into
The Brass Window,
Shining darkly, shining darkly.
Love is always
Shining darkly.

Magic mirror of our love,
Magic mirror of our love
Shining, shining,
Shining, shining.
We looked into
The Brass Window
Saw our shadows
Darkly shining.

Pretty dreams,
They are lies.
Prety, pretty dreams.

So many lies,
We became lost.
Dark is the path through the
Windows of Brass.

When we were young,
Our dreams were sweet.
We vowed our love would last
Eternally.

The Brass Window, The Brass Window,
We looked into
The Brass Window
And took our souls
And trapped them there
Inside the glass.

Sweet dreams don't last
And to survive The Brass Window
We wove dark spells
To bind our love.
Love is always shining darkly.

The Brass Window, The Brass Window,
We looked into The Brass Window
And took our souls
And trapped them there
Inside the glass.

I close my eyes, my love,
Against their pretty dreams.
You are the shining dark
Brass Window of my heart.
Brass Window of my soul.
