[B] [F#]
[B] [A] [B] Looking out at the night [A] beyond the driver's wheel
[D] Curving hips made of [A] snow in the winter fields
[D] There's a house set [B] way back [A] where the lamplight [B] glows
Like a star [Bm] out in the [A] cold filled with people I'll never know
Who left a light, left a light in the window
What
[A]
would I [B] change if [A] the choice were [B] mine
I was doing the best [A] I knew at the time
And every door [B] that was [A] opened and door that [B] closed
All the things that made me [A] grow
Set me off down another road
Off to look [B] for a light, for a light in the [A] window
Now [D] the [B] old has [A] already passed away
[B] But the new is too new [A] to be born today
So I'm throwing out seeds on the winter snow
As the cold [D] wind begins to blow
Standing here on a new [A] threshold
I can see a light, [B] there's a light in the [A] window
[D] And [A] the world is [B] made of [E] stone
And the [B] world is [E] made of glass
[A] And the world [B] is made [G#m] of light
And it's [D] moving very fast
[A]
[D] [A]
[A]
We pass from mystery to mystery so I won't lie
I don't know what happens when people die
But I hope that I see you walking slow
Smiling wide as the sunrise grows
Grab my [B] map with a thousand [A] folds
In the [D] distance I see it glow
[A] There's a light, there's a light, there's a light [E] in the window
