Window on the World

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 and a shaky hand

Waking up in a foreign land

Trying to act like I got something planned

That's my window on the world.

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer girl

Don't let mamma cut those curls.

That's my window on the world.

(Bridge)

In broad day light that circus went

Pulled up stakes I don't know where it went

Closed dark room with a busted vent.

That's my window on the world.

I think about you when I'm counting sheep.

I think about you then I can't sleep

I think the ocean is just so deep

That's my window on the world.

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer girl

The Queen of Sheba meets the Duke of Earl

That's my window on the world.

(Bridge)

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.

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer girl

Don't let mamma cut those curls.

That's my window on the world.

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer girl

The Queen of Sheba meets the Duke of Earl

That's my window on the world.
