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
