Am G
As I sat sadly by her side
F G
At the window through the glass
Am G
She stroked a kitten in her lap
F G
And we watched the world as it fell past
Am G
Softly she spoke these words to me
F G
And with brand new eyes, open wide
Am G
We pressed our faces to the glass
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am G
She said, 'Father, mother, sister, brother,
F G
Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
Am G
Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
F G
Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest,
Am G
Earth and moon and sun and stars
F G
Planets and comets with tails blazing
Am G
All are there forever falling
F G Am (Fig A)
Falling lovely and amazing.'
Am G
Then she smiled and turned to me
F G
And waited for me to reply
Am G
Her hair was falling down her shoulders
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am G
As I sat sadly by her side
F F
The kitten she did gently pass
Am G
Over to me and again we pressed
F G
Our different faces to the glass
Am G
'That may be very well,' I said
F G
'But watch that one falling in the street
Am G
See him gesture to his neighbourS
F G
See him trampled beneath their feet
Am G
All outward motion connects to nothing
F G
For each is concerned with their immediate need
Am G
Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
F G Am (Fig A)
See the other one stumbling on who he can not see.
Am G
With trembling hand I turned toward her
F G
And pushed the hair out of her eyes
Am G
The kitten jumped back to her lap
F G Am (Fig A)
As I sat sadly by her side.
Am G
Then she drew the curtains down
F G
And said, 'When will you ever learn
Am G
That what happens there beyond the glass
F G
Is simply none of your concern?
Am G
God has given you but one heart
F G
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
Am G
And God does not care for your benevolence
F G
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
Am G
Nor does he care for those who sit
F G
At windows in judgement of the world He created
Am G
While sorrows pile up around him
F F Am (Fig A)
Ugly, useless and over-inflated.
Am G
At which she turned her head away
F G
Great tears leaping from her eyes
Am G
I could not wipe the smile from my face
F G Am (Fig B)
As I sat sadly by her side.
