Gretta at a Window

from Carta Marina by Nightwood

/

lyrics

they’ve been telling us something

that I can’t recall

it sounds like a love song

then I take the fall



the window rattles behind me

I walk toward its call

the snow won’t stop from falling

the coldest blanket of all, a-HA



don’t you wish you’d go home

oh they come and they go

Gretta at a window

oh, and then she goes home



rehearse the events that have passed

as though preparing for a play

my fingers warm against the glass

the night has taken over DAY



don’t you wish you’d go home

oh they come and they go

Gretta at a window

oh, and then she goes home



you know you never go home

unless you’re somebody else



the window rattles behind me

I walk toward its call

the snow won’t stop from falling

the coldest blanket of all

rehearse the events that have passed

as though preparing for a play

my fingers warm against the glass

the night has taken over DAY



don’t you wish you’d go home

oh they come and they go

Gretta at a window

oh, and then she goes home



la-la-la-la
