Creatures of the daylight
Fade away into the sky
I can hear 'em talking sadly
All they ever ask is, "Why?"Memories and shadows
Down the sand into the tide
See my mother with a baby
See my father at her sideSmoky windows
Smoky windowsTelegrams and wire
Runnin' down beside a train
Tumbleweed and fire
Blowin' down the endless plainMemories and shadows
Down the sand into the blue
See my mother with a baby
See that summer shining throughSmoky windows
Smoky windowsOh, and the lil' time goes by
Oh, yes, the lil' time goes by, by, byCorridors and stairways
Leading up and down the years
Tolling bells and echoes
Ringing briefly in your earsMemories and shadows
Down the sand into the sea
See my mother with a baby
I guess that, babe, she held was meSmoky windows
Smoky windows
