Better Days — Guy Clark

Standing at the window her face to the glass As far as she can see the time has come to pass As far as she can see the sky is all ablaze And this looks like the first of better days

She's takin' charge of her life for a change She's takin' it back that she's lost It's just as clear as the window pane She'll survive at all cost

See the wings unfolding that weren't there just before On a ray of sunshine she dances out the door Out into the morning light where the sky is all ablaze This looks like the first of better days
