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
