Behind the glass
                            you can see the snowflakes
                            gathering round peoples’ feet
                            covering all the silent concrete
                            But you can’t feel the wind
                            biting at your face
                            and the cold won’t penetrate
                            through to your bones
                            behind the glass
                            It’s safe behind the glass
                            you can’t stand in the rain
                            you can’t feel the pain
                            Trusting souls behind the glass
                            never been betrayed
                            Hearts never broken
                            because your love has stayed
                            Chans never unfastened
                            because they never had to be
                            Always someone there for you
                            you’ve never been lonely
                            You, behind the glass
                            look at me, out in the cold
                            as I walk on past
                            while you stay in warm, and just get old
                            behind the glass.
