World Outside Your Window

(álbum: Ancient Heart - 1988)

Well, everyone has said that I might go
'Cause 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
'Cause you know how I laugh when winter shows her hand

With that picture framed, there is a saddest thing you'll see
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
And since I'm going now, please rearrange
'Cause I'd like to think that things have changed
I don't believe you'll be open anymore

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption don't do much for me

Well, everyone was hoping you would stay awhile
Tell us 'bout that great land in the South
Then you'll see that man
Now ain't he under offer?
Well, I tell you child, you go wash out your mouth

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption don't do much for me

Now what can you say?
I'm hiding in the belfry
How can you say I want to catch time?
How can you say you know anything about me?
Because I knew about you but I won't care about you

Now, everyone has come to see
But some things 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 this dust

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh, and tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption don't do much for me
