I just typed them out. I believe they're correct, but if not, someone can feel free to correct me...

Verse 1
Walking home with the
Snow it is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside they wave from the glow

Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh, starry night
I was walking and singing this song

Chorus
La la la la...

Verse 2
Walking home with the
Snow it is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside they wave from the glow

Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh, starry night
I was walking and singing this song

Chorus
Singing la la la la...

Bridge
It's that day again
It's that time of year
With our smiling faces
We will sing with cheer

Chorus
La la la la...

i always thought it was

"passing violet windows"

thinking it meant the TV was glowing out of the window or something, but you're probably right

i think i'm influenced on that thinking by the Wilco lyric from SUnken Treasure:

"there's rows & rows of houses
with the windows painted blue
with the light from the TV
runnin' parallel to you"

Yeah, the first "by lit" could mistaken for "violet," and I wasn't quite sure the very first time I heard it. But on the second time through, it's pretty obvious. Good call on "Sunken Treasure," by the way--one of my favorite tunes on Being There. Cool
