Sign in a Window - Swingin Utters

Time has given everything I need

Lust, pride, gluttony, and relief

Tomorrow weighs down like

Clouds hung in the sky

But right now I’m feeling like

A rotten present from this life of mine

So what’s there to laugh about?

I saw a sign in a window

A bold announcement of the facts

Got me crying on my pillow

The only way I can react

I got along until the first night passed me

Left me with a new day arriving

Nothing quite as new as before

Something missing, so I looked for more

I catch a train to the next town’s station

A busy place with a big town’s tension

Reminding me of that place I’d left

Back home where my young life I’d spent

I saw a sign in a window

A bold announcement of the facts

Got me crying on my pillow

The only way I can react

I moved like a shadow through a slew of streets

Made like the victim in a crowd of thieves

Just like it was back home

Just like it was ever back home

And my sentiment caught up with me, of course

Time has given everything I need

Time has given everything I need
