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 curls 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 the ocean is just so deep That's my window on the world Chorus 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
