Window To The World Lyrics - Cover Girl - Shawn Colvin

Neon flickers with a pale glow 

And all the shadows that come and go 

Sometimes I can hear 

Them laugh and cry 

In my lonely room with a view 

I can't sleep and so I think of you 

And watch the world as it passes by 

I can't close my eyes 

I can't close my eyes 

This is my window to the world 

All of the lonely boys and girls 

Are a reflection in my eyes 

Of me and you 

This is my window to it all 

I see the heroes rise and fall 

This is my window to the world 

And I can see 

As the night turns into day 

Old ladies shuffle by and wave 

And the kids sell drugs 

To cars that slowly cruise 

Young lovers walk across my street 

Oblivious to the refugees 

And the lonely lost baby 

That's me and you 

I can't close my eyes 

I can't close my eyes 

This is my window to the world 

All of the lonely boys and girls 

Are a reflection in my eyes 

Of me and you 

This is my window to it all 

I see the heroes rise and fall 

This is my window to the world 

And I can see 

I can't close my eyes 

Can't close my eyes 

This is my window to the world 

All of the lonely boys and girls 

Are a reflection in my eyes 

Of me and you 

This is my window to it all 

I see the heroes rise and fall 

This is my window to the world 

And I can see 

This is my window to the world 

All of the lonely boys and girls 

Are a reflection in my eyes 

Of me and you 

This is my window to it all 

I see the heroes rise and fall 

This is my window to the world 

And I can see 

This is my window to the world 

All of the lonely boys and girls 

Are a reflection in my eyes 

Of me and you 

Ooh, this is my window to it all 

I see the heroes rise and fall 

This is my window to the world 

And I can see
