A broken promise i kept too long
|
A greasy shade and a curtain drawn
|
A broken glass and a heart gone wrong
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
A cup of coffee in a shaky hand
|
Wakin' up in a foreign land
|
Tryin' to act like i got somethin' planned
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
[Chorus 1:]
|
That's my window on the world
|
Could you stand a little closer, girl
|
Don't let mama cut those curfs
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
In broad daylight that circus tent pulled up stakes
|
I don't know where it went
|
A close dark room with a busted vent
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
I think about you when i'm countin' sheep
|
I think about you, then i can't sleep
|
I think that ocean is just so deep
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
That's my window on the world
|
Could you stand a little closer, girl
|
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earle
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
Down on indiana avenue
|
Wes and jimmy, man they played the blues
|
I guess they were only passin' through
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
[Chorus 1:]
|
That's my window on the world
|
Could you stand a little closer, girl
|
Don't let mama cut those curfs
|
That's my window on the world
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
That's my window on the world
|
Could you stand a little closer, girl
|
The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earle
|
That's my window on the world
|
