World Outside Your Window - Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Well, 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 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 goin' now, please rearrange 'Cos 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 feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me Well, everyone was hopin' 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 feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me Now what can you say? I'm hidin' in the belfry How can you say I want to catch time? How can you say you know anythin' 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 feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me
