I looked into your window <br />In the darkness and I froze <br />My dark-eyed desert Lily <br />Blushed an asiatic rose <br />I know I shouldna done it <br />My anger sealed the deal <br />And now a naked shard of glass <br />Inside me never heals <br /> <br />And I've got the blues, baby <br />I've got the Broken Window Blues <br />Nothin' to win, nothin' to lose' <br />I've got the Broken Window Blues <br /> <br />I met a fair fine woman <br />And you know I held her tight <br />But somethin' deep inside me <br />Just didn't feel all right <br />Can't say I didn't try, now <br />I did what a man could do <br />But that jagged piece of glass baby <br />You know I think it cut her too <br /> <br />Now she's got the blues, baby <br />She's got the Broken Window Blues <br />Nothin' to win and everything to lose <br />She's got the Broken Window Blues <br /> <br />Although others may find me <br />You and I are never through <br />'Cause that ragged piece of glass, babe <br />It reminds me of you <br />Wrapped up in the music <br />The edge's growing dull <br />Sometimes it's not so bad now, babe <br />Sometimes it hurts like hell <br /> <br />Don't try to tell me baby <br />Broke Window Blues'll go away <br />I may not have class but I know I've got glass <br />And these Broken Window Blues are here to stay. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />October 2008<br /><br />Katz Haus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-window-blues/
