World Outside Your Window Lyrics - Tikaram Tanita

WORLD OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW 

Tanita Tikaram 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Everyone has said that I might go 

'Cos my red suitcase and my Ray-Bans 

Weren't quite so 

I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls 

I'll never come back again 

'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand 

Well that picture framed is the sadest thing you'll see 

But it bought me time and a place that love could be 

And since I'm going now, please rearrange 

'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed 

I don't believe you'll be open anymore 

Tell me if you want to see 

A world outside your window 

A world outside your window isn't free 

And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption 

That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me 

Well everyone was hoping you would stay awhile 

Tell us 'bout your great land in the south 

I see that man --- now ain't he under offer? 

I tell you child you go wash out your mouth 

Tell me if you want to see 

A world outside your window 

A world outside your window isn't free 

And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption 

That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me 

What can you say 

I'm hiding in the belfrey 

What can you say --- I want to catch time 

How can you say you know anything about me 

Well I knew about you --- but I don't care about you 

Everyone has come to see, well somethings have to die 

Flowers out for this graphic haunt, but they all pass me by 

But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz 

And when I winced with ignorance 

I had to kiss the dust
