Bed By The Window - james king

Two old friends share a room

In a home for the elderly

Confided to their bed

Their bodies have given way

Old Joel by the window

Watch the days goes by

Bill lives to hear the tales about the world outside

From the bed by the window

He tells how the children play

The lovers in the park

The ducks out on the lake

The little boy who’ll swept the sidewalk

When the sun came out each day

From the bed by the window

He tells it just that way

They share with each other

The stories of their lives

Relive all their memories and

Dreams of better times

Outside the leaves were changing

The summer turn to fall

And from the bed by the window

Old Joel described all

From the bed by the window

He tells how the children play

The lovers in the park

The ducks out on the lake

The little boy who’ll swept the sidewalk

When the sun came out each day

From the bed by the window

He tells it just that way

Then on a cold winter morning

In the light of the dawn

The bed by the window is empty

Old Joel is gone

And then they move Bill to the window

He couldn’t hold back the tears

When he finally saw the view outside after all those years

From the bed by the window

He could see out at all

There was nothing out that window

But an old bricks wall

Now a new man share that room in the home for the elderly

Confided to his bed

His body has given way

Bill lies by the window

As the days go by

And his new friend lives to hear the tales about the world outside

(Chorus)

From the bed by the window he tells it just that way…
