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 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
