John Prine - Storm Windows lyrics

I can hear the wheels of the automobiles

So far away - just moving along through the drifting snow

It's times like these when the temperatures freeze

I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window

And down on the beach - the sandman sleeps

Time don't fly - it bounds and leaps

And a country band that plays for keeps

They play it so slow

Chorus:

Don't let your baby down

Don't let your baby down

Don't let your baby down

Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry

For so long the raven at my window was only a crow

I bought the rights to the inside fights

And watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window

While miles away o'er hills and streams

A candle burns - A witch's dreams

And silence is golden till it screams

Right through your bones

Repeat Chorus:

Storm windows - Gee but I'm getting old

Storm window - keep away the cold

Don't let your baby down

Don't let your baby down

Don't let your baby down
