Tanita Tikaram
World Outside Your Window

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, that picture frame
Is the 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Well, everyone was hoping
You would stay awhile
Tell us 'bout that great land
In the south

Then ya see that man
Now, ain't he under offer?
Well, I tell you, child
You go wash out your mouth

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Now what can you say
I'm hiding in the belfry?
How can you say
I wanna catch time?
How can you say
You know anything about me?
Because I knew about you
But I won't care about you

[Break]

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
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
