As I sat sadly by her sideAt the window, through the glassShe stroked a kitten in her lapAnd we watched the world as it fell pastSoftly she spoke these words to meWith brand new eyes, open wideWe pressed our faces to the glassAs I sat sadly by her sideShe said, father, mother, sister, brotherUncle, aunt and nephew, nieceSoldier, sailor, physician, laborerActor, scientist, mechanic, priestEarth and moon and sun and starsAnd planets and comets with tails blazin'All are there forever fallin'Fallin' lovely and amazin'Then she smiled and turned to meAnd waited for me to replyHer hair was fallin' down her shouldersAs I sat sadly by her sideAs I sat sadly by her sideThe kitten she did gently passOver to me and again we pressedOur different faces to the glassThat may be very well, I saidBut watch the one fallin' in the streetSee him gesture to his neighborsAnd see him trampled beneath their feetAll outward motion connects to nothin'For each is concerned with their immediate needWitness the man reachin' up from the gutterSee the other one stumblin' on who can not seeWith tremblin' hand I turned toward herAnd pushed the hair out of her eyesThe kitten jumped back to her lapAs I sat sadly by her sideThen she drew the curtains downAnd said, oh, when will you ever learn?That what happens there beyond the glassIs simply none of your concernGod has given you but one heartYou are not a home for the hearts of your brothersAnd God does not care for your benevolenceAnymore than he cares for the lack of it in othersNor does he care for you to sitAt windows in judgment of the world He createdWhile sorrows pile up around youUgly, useless and over inflatedAt which she turned her head awayGreat tears leapin' from her eyesI could not wipe the smile from my faceAs I sat sadly by her sideAs I sat sadly by her sideAs I sat sadly by her sideAs I sat sadly by her side
