Jimmy Buffett - Window On The World Lyrics

Jimmy Buffett - Window On The World Video

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.

 

A cup of coffee and a shaky hand

Waking up in a foreign land

Trying to act like I got something 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 mamma cut those curls.

That's my window on the world.

 

(Bridge)

 

In broad day light that circus went

Pulled up stakes I don't know where it went

Closed dark room with a busted vent.

That's my window on the world.

 

I think about you when I'm counting sheep.

I think about you then I can't sleep

I think the 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 Earl

That's my window on the world.

 

(Bridge)

 

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 mamma 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 Earl

That's my window on the world.

Jimmy Buffett - Turning Around Lyrics

Jimmy Buffett - Turning Around Video

By: jimmy buffett

Sometimes I feel like a propeller

Spin spin out of control

I don't know who's up on the throttle

Oh I wish they'd let it go.

 

All I ever do is get dizzy

Thinkin' thinkin' things left undone

Been stuck here so long now I'm zero

I'd just like to make it to one

 

Chorus:

Turnin' around

Heros and clown (s)

Holdin' my ground

Oh I've been down

I'm turnin around

 

Turnin' around

Lost 'til were found

Holdin' our ground

Oh I've been down

I'm turnin' around

 

Sometimes I get lost in daydreamin'

Sleep sleep my life away

I know in my heart I'm a sailor

And my ship is on the way

 

There never is an end to believers

Lookin' lookin' for the right sign

 

If everything will just keep on turnin'

All that I want will be mine.

 

Chorus:

Turning around

Heros and clown (s)

Holdin' my ground

Oh I've been down

I'm turnin' around

 

Turnin' around

Lost 'til we're found

Holdin' our ground

Oh I've been down

I'm turnin'around

 

Bridge:

(nice steel drum lick)

 

Chorus:

Turnin' around

Heros and clowns

Holdin' my ground

Oh I've been down

I'm turnin' around

 

Turnin' around

Lost 'til we're found

 

(fade)

Jimmy Buffett - Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season Lyrics

Jimmy Buffett - Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season Video

Squalls out on the gulfstream

Big storm's coming soon

Passed out in my hammock

God I slept till way past noon

Stood up and tried to focus

I Hoped I wouldn't have to look far

Knew I could use a bloody mary

So I stumbled next door to the bar

 

Chorus

And now I must confess

I could use some rest

I can't run at this pace very long

Yes it's quite insane

I think it hurts my brain

But it cleans me out

And then I can go on

 

There's something about this Sunday

It's a most perculiar gray

Strolling down the avenue that's known as A1A

Feeling tired, then I got inspired

I knew that it wouldn't last long

So all alone I walked back home

Sat on the beach and then I made up this song

 

Chorus

 

Well the wind is blowing harder now

Fifty knots or thereabouts

There's white caps on the ocean

And I'm watching for water spouts

It's time to close the shutters

It's time to go inside

In a week I'll be in gay Paris

And that's a mighty long airplane ride

 

Chorus
