Lyrics Bed By the Window - James King

Two old friends share a room
In a home for the elderly
Confided to their bed
Their bodies have given way
Old Joel by the window
Watch the days goes by
Bill lives to hear the tales about the world outside

From the bed by the window
He tells how the children play
The lovers in the park
The ducks out on the lake
The little boy who� ll swept the sidewalk
When the sun came out each day
From the bed by the window
He tells it just that way

They share with each other
The stories of their lives
Relive all their memories and
Dreams of better times
Outside the leaves were changing
The summer turn to fall
And from the bed by the window
Old Joel described all

From the bed by the window
He tells how the children play
The lovers in the park
The ducks out on the lake
The little boy who� ll swept the sidewalk
When the sun came out each day
From the bed by the window
He tells it just that way

Then on a cold winter morning
In the light of the dawn
The bed by the window is empty
Old Joel is gone
And then they move Bill to the window
He couldn� t hold back the tears
When he finally saw the view outside after all those years
From the bed by the window
He could see out at all
There was nothing out that window
But an old bricks wall

Now a new man share that room in the home for the elderly
Confided to his bed
His body has given way
Bill lies by the window
As the days go by
And his new friend lives to hear the tales about the world outside
