Song : The Other Window



 Send "The Other Window" Ringtone to your Cell 

 He took his seat on the foreign train He thought
it pleasant to travel again Mindful of the
journey's end He read again the letter from his
friend Time passed as it often does The seat was
hard, the carriage fetid He was dressed for
summer, but still he sweated It was better than
being home Feeling the cold, and living alone
Time passed slowly Around him people spoke in
French Despite schooldays it made no sense
Occasional stares caught his eye He was tempted
to smile, but Being shy, time passed When he
looked through the window For the thousandth time
He saw a black horse fighting for its life In a
barbed wire fence Fatally tangled The more it
struggled The more it was strangled Time sped up
He turned away There was nothing he could do The
other window Had a nicer view Time passed
painfully
