In a Windowpane

Gordon Lightfoot

|_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |  |_ _ _ | I looked into a windowpane Last evening in a city far away  I was feeling sad and blue I wondered then if I should really stay  Wanting someone to be with me In the light of this uncertain time  Waiting by the window for the man inside To please make up his mind    Will you be one who passed through but never saw__-a-aw Never knowing, never feeling anything__-i-i-ing  Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do__ Will you be one who passed through but never saw  I walked along the roadway to a fountain Where lovers come to meet  A hobo walked up to me, I could tell He didn't have enough to eat  He said, "Good sir, you look so kind And though the years have stripped me to the bone  It seems I am the better man For in this place I've never walked alone"   Will you be one who passed through but never saw__-a-aw Never knowing, never feeling anything__-i-i-ing  Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do__ Will you be one who passed through but never saw  "Where will you be, my friendly When your telephone ain't giving out no calls  And when the seasons come to haunt you Will you still find the springtime in the fall" "And when you're on your island Will you wave at every ship that passes by  And will you feed a hungry man I thank you, sir, now I'll just say goodbye"    Don't you be one who passed through but never saw__-a-aw Never knowing, never feeling anything__-i-i-ing  Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do__ Will you be one who passed through but never saw  Will you live in your whole life through, never knowing what to do__ Will you be one who passed through but never saw

Cette chanson évoque la mélancolie d'un homme qui, en regardant à travers une fenêtre, se questionne sur sa vie et son désir de connexion. Il se sent perdu et se demande s'il devrait rester, entouré d’incertitudes, tout en attendant une présence. À travers une rencontre inattendue avec un sans-abri, il réalise que même dans la solitude, il y a de la force à ne pas marcher seul. Dans un monde où l’on peut passer sans vraiment voir, la chanson invite à la réflexion sur nos choix et nos interactions. Elle évoque la manière dont nous vivons, parfois passivement, sans saisir pleinement les expériences qui nous sont offertes.
