The View from Here (feat. Tom Prasada-Rao)
Lyricist:Bob Bennett, Tom Prasada-Rao Composer:Bob Bennett, Tom Prasada-Rao
My apartment overlooks the railroad tracks And a city salvage yard across the way That's where they bring all the broken things Just like me, they can't throw anything away
Sometimes at night I see the fading, flashing lights Of the barricades that used to warn the cars An earthbound astronaut, I can connect the dots To see the constellations in those stars
Sometimes I can see what's right in front of me I can hear what's being whispered in my ear It's not like I planned but from where I stand I can see the view from here Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
There's just one little train that runs by here Some tanker cars, the occasional caboose It can never look back, it just follows the tracks Me, I don't have the same excuse
The first early morning I heard him I thought he was a jerk This guy who whistled through my window as he worked But now when I hear him I can't help but wonder why If that guy can whistle Then why can't I?
