Once upon a time a friend of mine was having a particularly rough depressive episode and asked me to come over to talk.  As I walked into her apartment I was struck by the contrast between the gloominess of the room and the beautiful sunny weather streaming in through the window.  I was thinking about that episode late one night while looking out my own window and wrote this compact tune after writing down some of the things I saw on the street below.  It happens to all of us sometimes that not even a picture-perfect day is enough to lighten our darkling spirits, and I guess that’s what this song is about.

I see a lightness unfolding
Doors that are opening
The brightening sky

I see the snow coming down again
The faces of elderly men
The creeping daylight

You just sit alone in your
four-walled room and hide
Barrel down the door but there's
no one left inside

And you can't stop your crying
Can't keep the loneliness away
And when I look out your window
It's just another sunny day

Well you can't stop your crying
Can't keep the loneliness at bay
And when I look out your window
It's just another sunny day
