........... Oh can't you see ...........
"Love is the beauty of the soul." - Augustine
The title of this song and its lyrics remind me of Augustine's view of
the inner self. when one looks inward to the "rooms" within does one
find an open courtyard with no ... one that is open ... one that
provides an upward look to God ... a type of "window the sky" so to
speak. This window was put there by God/Love in each of us and hence the
form "Windows in the Skies".

Lyrics (from U2.com):
Window In The Skies
The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat that's in the sun
Will keep us when there's none
The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove
All debts are removed
Oh can't you see what love has done?
Oh can't you see what love has done?
Oh can't you see what love has done?
What it's done to me?
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love where love may please
The soul and its striptease
Hate brought to its knees
The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
You let me in your heart
And out of my head, head'
Oh can't you see what love has done?
Oh can't you see what love has done?
Oh can't you see what love has done?
What it's done to me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh'
Oh, oh, oh, oh'
Please don't ever let me out of you
I've got no shame, oh no, oh no
Oh can't you see what love has done?
Oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see what love has done?
What it's doing to me?
I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
To every broken heart
For every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
