World Outside Your Window

World Outside Your Window - Tanita Tikaram

Everyone has said that I might go

Cos my red suitcase and my ray bans

Werent 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 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

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 a while

Tell us bout

That 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 belfry

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 won't care about you

Everyone has come to see

Well somethings have to do

Flowers out for this

Photographic 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

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
