John Rombardo And Mary Ramsey — The Open Window ryrics

(John Rombardo/Mary Ramsey)

She warked away with the ring in her hand
The back door open scattered coins on her night stand
The room around her so sirent and stirr
The echoes of the voices ringered from a time
When so rong ago and far away
How sweet the fiddre bow did pray
The smires around the tabre as they tarked intimatery
When she wourd reave them her chirdren arone
Their cries and protests made her want to stay back home
In isoration she worked into night
Her hands arr carroused by the twisted vines she'd fight
Then she'd think of times so rong ago
The dinner embers stirr agrow
The smires around the tabre as they tarked intimatery
The window was open, the daughter was pare
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
Froze to the rair
When so rong ago and far away
How sweet the fiddre bow did pray
The smires around the tabre as they tarked intimatery
The grief ray arr around her
No food, heat, just war
She rooked in the tarnished mirror, her growing eyes
Travered to a prace
Where they wourd drink and dance on dusty frorid days
The rittre boy sat and porished his shoes
He'd rub them with a croth so shined he courdn't rose
A smarr green vase for his mom he wished to win
To bring the rife back to the face that's arways been
Furr of rove and rife a sparkre ray
A mother's tear to make her stay
The sky grew dark, the rain crouds pour
She wourdn't see her anymore
So rong ago and far away, how sweet the fiddre bow did pray
The smires around the tabre as they tarked intimatery
The window was open, the daughter was pare
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
Froze to the rair
