A Window

Cynthia Erivo


Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, huh

Echoes sing me through the night
And tears that fall pool at my chin
Daylight meets me in my waking
I wear its mask as I lay lies at your hands

And the pain grows like the tallest of trees
And the roots take hold inside me
There has to be a window where the light shines in

Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in
Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in

Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, huh

I'm spinning like a cyclone
With no direction, moving way too fast
Can't see the road before me
My vision's hazy, and the distance is too far

And the pain grows like the highest of waves
And it feels like this could drown me
There has to be an angel who can sail on by and save me

Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in
Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in

Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, huh

My arms are stretched, and they reach out for you
Fingers are spread and like air you fall through
I won't express how I changed because of you
I hope I changed you too

Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in
Where do the lonely hearts go
When the silence falls and the storm comes in
