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
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
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
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
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
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 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 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 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 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 Explain Request ×
