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

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 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 Earle

That's my window on the world
