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 mamma cut those curls.
 That's my window on the world.
 (Bridge)
 In broad day light that circus went
 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.
 (Bridge)
 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 mamma 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.
