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 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 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 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
