"Window On The World" lyrics

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 mama cut those curls
That's my window on the world

In broad daylight, that circus tent
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

Down on Indiana Avenue
Wes and Jimmy, man, they played the blues
I guess they were only passing 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 mama 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
