Stained Glass Windows

about

You know how the light comes through the glass. It has to lose a little strength before the light can pass.

lyrics

I woke up and the house was rearranged
I woke up from the strangest dream
and everything had changed

What happened to the life that I once knew
What happened to the life that I
Had tried to build with you

I know I threw it all away
but I want you back ‘cause no matter what I do
living without you hurts like a heart attack

Yellow orange red and royal blue
It sounds like every word I’ve said
Is too long overdue

But you know how the light comes through the glass
It has to lose a little strength
Before the light can pass

I know I threw it all away
but I want you back ‘cause no matter what I do
living without you hurts like a heart attack

I called to beg you, baby, come on home
‘cause no one else can teach me how
to learn to live alone

If I could somehow make things up to you
I would find a way to say
A thousand times, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
