John Hiatt - Window On The World Lyrics
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
Wakin' up in a foreign land
Tryin' to act like i got somethin' planned
That's my window on the world
[Chorus 1:]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl
Don't let mama cut those curfs
That's my window on the world
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 that ocean is just so deep
That's my window on the world
[Chorus 2:]
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
[Chorus 1:]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl
Don't let mama cut those curfs
That's my window on the world
[Chorus 2:]
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

John Hiatt Window On The World Comments
I never heard Buffet's version. This is phenomenal. But great songwriting.
The best.
A broken promise I kept too long♥️
A greasy shade and the curtains 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 that 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
Underrecognized song.
This is a awesome song.
Saw John & the Goners with Sonny at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in '03. I like the Combo but the Goners were the best.
Thank you so much for posting this. Love it more than Buffet's version.
This song plays everyday at a company called Tuesday Morning. Only one I like really.
+Acjets1 LMAO I work there and they still play it!!!! That's why I'm here
I like Jimmy Buffett's version much better
Buffett is way over rated.
he sounds like someone off the muppets
Glad that you like it. It's one of my John Hiatt favs as well. Love the slide playing of Sonny Landreth on this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I have been looking for this song for 2 years, thanks so much for posting it.
