Outside the window, the field lays untouched.
Waiting for the next day.

Just beyond view, people lay on the sandy beach.
Waiting for the next day.

Along the shore, birds lay there, sleeping.
Waiting for the next day.

Listening to the song of the wind blowing.
Waiting for the next day.

In the mountains, far away salmon are jumping.
Waiting for the next day.

Outside the window, the field lays untouched.
Waiting for the next day.
by Alain

Outside the window of the foggy ocean with a dim sun.
Just beyond view of a flying seagull
Along the shore of soft sand and rocks.
Listening to the song of birds chirping.
In the mountains, far away the sun rises behind the mountains.
Outside the window, of the foggy ocean with a dim sun.

Outside the window, comes a shore.

Outside the window, I see a bird, a big blue bird
Just beyond view, it flies away so I chase it

Outside the window, I see a bird, a big blue bird.

Outside the window is a man on the tree.
Just beyond view, I see him having tea.

Outside the window, he’s watching me,
The man in the tree.

Outside the window, lies the turtle
Just beyond view, is that tree with the crow that we wave to
Along the shore, is the crab with the funny shell

In the mountains, far away from the window are scary
little things that hunt
Outside the window, lies the turtle.

Listening to the song of crashing waves and clacking claws
In the mountains, far away, there is a pond
