The Idle Race
Girl at the Window
[Verse 1]
In the town lived a girl so fair
Her mother would not dare
To let her anywhere
She was a lonely girl
[Verse 2]
John and Paul and Ringo and George
Were playing lovely tunes
From the window of her room
By the light of the moon
[Chorus]
Hey, girl there at the window
I wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you
So much I want you to see
[Verse 3]
In the fields lived a lonely boy
Who'd wander every night
Just to see her window light
Then he was happier
[Verse 4]
Then he'd sit upon the ground
Just to listen to the sound
Of the music going round
And he would call to her
[Chorus]
Hey, girl there at the window
I wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you
So much I want you to see
[Bridge]
One night, her mother said
"I think it's time for bed"
The little girl crept down the stairs
Free as a bird
[Chorus]
Hey, girl there at the window
I wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you
So much I want you to see
[Verse 5]
She met the boy sitting on the ground
And they listened to the sound
Growing distant as they found
They were happy now
[Chorus]
Hey, girl there at the window
I wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you
So much I want you to see
[Chorus/Outro]
Hey, girl there at the window
I wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you
So much I want you to see
Hey, girl there at the window...
