Benjamin Gibbard
Teardrop Windows
Teardrop windows crying in the sky, he’s all alone and wondering why
Ivory white, but feeling kinda blue,
Cause there’s no one there to share the view
There’s too many vacancies, he’s been feeling oh so empty
And the sun sets over the sounds, and he just goes to sleep
Built to boast, stands the tallest on the coast
He was once the city’s only toast
In all postcards was positioned as a star
He was looked up to and fonded by
But in 1962, the needle made its big debut
And everybody forgot what it outgrew
He wonders where the workers are, who once filled every floor
The elevators operate, but don’t much anymore, anymore, anymore
Teardrop windows crying in the sky, how he years have quickly passed him by
Gleaming white against the deeṗest baby blue, he is lonely just like me and you
Cause there’s too many vacancies,
He’s been feeling oh so empty
When the sun sets over the sounds, he just goes to sleep
There’s too many vacancies
He’s been feeling oh so empty
When the maids turn off the lights, he just goes to sleep
