Carrie Newcomer - A light in the window

Looking ^Cout ^G/Bat the ^G/Anight beyond the ^Gdriver's wheel Curving ^Chips ^G/Bmade of ^G/Asnow in the ^Gwinter fields There's a ^Chouse ^G/Bset way ^G/Aback where a ^Glamplight glows Like a star out ^Cin the cold ^G Filled with people I'll ^Cnever know ^G Who left a ^Clight, ^G/Bleft a ^Amlight in the ^Cwindow ^{G C G}

What would ^CI ^G/Bchange ^G/Aif the ^Gchoice were mine? I was ^Cdo^G/Bing the ^G/Abest I knew ^Gat the time And every ^Cdoor ^G/Bthat was ^G/Aopened and ^Gdoor that closed All the things that ^Cmade me grow ^G Sent me off down a^Cnother road ^G Off to look for a ^Clight, ^G/Bfor a ^Amlight in the ^Cwindow ^{G C G}

Now the ^Cold ^G/Bhas ^G/Aalready ^Gpassed away But the ^Cnew ^G/Bis too ^G/Anew to be ^Gborn today So I'm ^Cthrow^G/Bing out ^G/Aseeds on the ^Gwinter snow As a cold wind be^Cgins to blow ^G Standing here on a ^Cnew threshold ^G I can see a ^Clight, ^G/Bthere's a ^Amlight in the ^Cwindow ^G

And the ^Cworld^G/B is ^Ammade of ^D/F#stone And the ^Cworld^G/B is ^Ammade of ^D/F#glass And the ^Cworld^G/B is ^Ammade of ^D/F#light And it's moving very ^C/Gfast

We pass from ^Cmys^G/Btery to ^G/Amystery, so ^GI won't lie I don't ^Cknow ^G/Bwhat ^G/Ahappens when ^Gpeople die But I ^Chope ^G/Bthat I ^G/Asee you ^Gwalking slow Smiling wide as the ^Csunrise grows ^G Drop my map with a ^Cthousand folds ^G In the distance, I ^Csee it glow ^G There's a light, there's a ^Clight, ^G/Bthere's a ^Amlight in the ^Cwindow ^G
