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

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 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 closed dark room with a busted vent

That's my window on the world



I think about you and 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 Sheeba meets the Duke of Earl

That's my window on the world



Down on Indiana Avenue

Where some Jimmy men, they play 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
